Come, come, come Lord Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;

Let us find our rest in Thee.

Hope of all the saints thou art;
Long Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart. [Refrain]

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] Tune Title: [Come, thou long-expected Jesus]
