Come, thou long-expected Jesus,

Born to set Thy people free!

From our fears and sins release us;
C#m A B E
Let us find our rest in Thee.

Hope of all the earth Thou art;

Long desired of every nation,

Joy of every longing heart.

Born Thy people to deliver,

Born a child--yet God our King,--

Born to reign in us forever,
C#m A B E
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

By thine own eternal Spirit,
E A B
Rule in all our hearts alone;

By Thine all-sufficient merit,
C#m A B E
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
