Page CXVI Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus Lyrics Page CXVI 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 forever, 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.

Come, Thou precious Ransom, come, O Savior of the world!
Come, Thy beauty let us see;

Anxiously we wait...for Thee.
Come, Thou precious Ransom, come, O Savior of the world!
Come, Thy beauty let us see;
Anxiously we wait...for Thee.

Come, Thou long expected Jesus Born to set Thy people free;
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
