Tune: | [Come, O long expected Jesus] |
Composer: | Dan Smith |
1 Come, O long expected Jesus,
Born to set your people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
And let us find our rest in you,
And let us find our rest in you.
2 Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth you are;
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
O joy of ev'ry longing heart,
O joy of ev'ry longing heart.
3 Born your people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a king;
Born to reign in us for ever,
So now your gracious kingdom bring,
So now your gracious kingdom bring.
4 By your own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By your all sufficient merit
Now raise us to your glorious throne,
Now raise us to your glorious throne.
