Come, O Long-expected Jesus - 125

Come, O long expected Jesus, born to set your people free.

From our fears and sins release us; Christ, in whom our rest shall be.

You, our strength and consolation, come salvation to impart;

dear desire of many a nation, joy of many a longing heart.

Born your people to deliver, born a child, and yet a kind,

born to reign in us forever, born your gracious realm to bring.

By your own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone;

by your all sufficient merit raise us to your glorious throne.
