Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

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.
