Lyrics

Come, Thou long expected Jesus Born to set Thy people free From our fears and sins release us Let us find our rest in Thee Israel's Strength and Consolation Hope of all the earth Thou art Dear Desire of every nation Joy of every longing heart Come, Thou mighty, humble Savior God incarnate as a child Laying aside divine behavior Frailness taking, meek and mild Here we wait in expectation Now from Heaven to earth descend From Thy sweet celestial station Come to be our loving friend Born Thy people to deliver Born a child and yet a King Born to reign in us forever Now Thy gracious kingdom bring By Thine own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone By Thine all sufficient merit Raise us to Thy glorious throne
