6 Come, O Long-Expected Jesus

1 Come, O long-expected Jesus, Born to set your people free; From our sins and fears release us By your death on Calvary. Israel's Strength and Consolation, Hope to all the earth impart; Dear Desire of ev'ry nation, Joy of ev'ry longing heart. 2 Born your people to deliver, Born a child and yet a king, Born to reign in us forever, Now your gracious kingdom bring. By your own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone; By your all-sufficient merit Raise us to your glorious throne.
