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
