Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come now, 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
[Verse 2]
Him the people to deliver
Born a child and yet a king
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring
By Thy own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to Thine glorious throne
[Verse 3]
To the great redeemer
Come Emmanuel
Bless the nations with Your presence here
Brought our souls to rescue
Born to save Your very love
Long expected Jesus
Make our hearts Your home
[Verse 4]
Come now, 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
[Verse 5]
Come now, great Redeemer
Come Emmanuel
Bless the nations with your presence here
Born our souls to rescue
Born to save your very love
Lord expected Jesus
Make our hearts your home
[Verse 6]
Come now, great Redeemer
Come Emmanuel
Bless the nations with your presence here
Born our souls to rescue
Born to save your very love
Lord expected Jesus
Make our hearts your home
[Verse 7]
Come now, long expected Jesus
Come now, long expected Jesus
