204- Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus

Jesus Christ: Second Advent

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.
  • Israel's strength and consolation,
  • Hope of all the earth Thou art;
  • Dear Desire of every nation,
  • Joy of every longing heart.

2

  • Born Thy people to deliver,
  • Born a child, and yet a King,
  • Born to reign in us forever,
  • Now Thy gracious kingdom bring,
  • By Thy own eternal Spirit,
  • Rule in all our hearts alone;
  • By Thy all-sufficient merit,
  • Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
