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 ev'ry nation,

Joy of ev'ry longing heart.

Born thy people to deliver,

Born a child, and yet a king,

Born to reign in us forever,

Now thy gracious kingdom bring.
