Caedmon`s Call Come Thou Long Expected Jesus Lyrics

Come Thou Long Expected Jesus Lyrics

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. 

 

 Born Thy people to deliver, 

 Born a Child and yet a King. 

 Born to reign in us for ever, 

 Now Thy gracious kingdom bring. 

 

 By Thine own eternal Spirit 

 Rule in all our hearts alone; 

 By Thine all-sufficient merit 

 Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
