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
Come to earth to taste our sadness, He whose glories knew no end.
By His life He brings us gladness, our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend.
Leaving riches without number, born within a cattle's stall.
This the everlasting wonder: Christ was born the Lord of all.
Verse 3
Born Thy people to deliver, born a Child, and yet a King.
Born the 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.
Verse 4
Finish then Thy new creation, pure and spotless let us be.
Let us see Thy great salvation perfectly restored in Thee.
Changed from glory into glory 'til in Heaven we take our place.
'Til we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.
