1 Come, O long expected Jesus, Born to set your people free; From our fears and sins release us; Free us from captivity. 2 Israel's strength and consolation, You, the hope of all the earth, Dear desire of ev'ry nation, Come and save us by your birth. 3 Born your people to deliver; Born a child and yet a King! Dear desire of ev'ry nation, Come, and save us by your birth. 4 By your own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone; By your all sufficient merit Raise us to your glorious throne. |
