328. Come, O Long-Expected Jesus

1 Come, O long expected Jesus,
Born to set your people free!
From our fears and sins release us,
You in whom our rest shall be.

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

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

4 By your own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By your all sufficient merit
Raise us to your glorious throne.
