Text: | Come, Thou long-expected Jesus |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | STUTTGART |
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 every nation,
Joy of every 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.
Amen.
