Tune: | JEFFERSON |
Arranger: | Theophane Hytrek, OSF, 1915-1992 |
1 Come, O long expected Jesus,
Born to set your people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Free us from captivity.
Israel's strength and consolation,
You, the hope of all the earth,
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Come, and save us by your birth.
2 Born your people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a king!
Born to reign in us for ever,
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.
