Hymn #204
Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus
Lyrics
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.
Israel’s strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
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.
By Thy own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thy all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
