Wondrous Love ‎#51

51. Come, Lord Jesus!

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.

Refrain:
Come, come, come Lord Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
Come, and from our sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.

2 Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the saints thou art;
Long Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart. [Refrain]

3 Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now thy precious kingdom bring. [Refrain]

4 By thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne. [Refrain]
