VERSE 1

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

Let us find our rest in Thee

Israel’s strength and consolation,
Hope of earth Thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy to every heart.

The long expected Jesus,

Our Lord, please come

VERSE 2

Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

By Thine own eternal spirit
Rule our hearts alone;
By Thine all-sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy throne.

The long expected Jesus,

Our Lord, please come
