1 Come, O long awaited Savior,
Born to set your people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Save us from life's misery.
Israel's strength and consolation,
You, the hope of all the earth;
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Bring salvation by your birth.

2 Born to free your captive people,
Born a child, and yet a King.
Born to reign in us forever,
Now your gracious kingdom bring.
By your own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By your all-sufficient merit
Raise us to your glorious throne.
