212. Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus

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.

2 Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art;
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Joy of ev'ry longing heart.

3 Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a king:
Born to reign in us forever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.

4 By thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne.
