Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus

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 sufficient merit,
Raise us to thy glorious throne.

I will sing of my redeemer and His wonderous love to me.
On the cruel cross He suffered, bound the curse to set me free.
Sing oh sing of my redeemer; with His blood He purchased me
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and set me free.
