  *++Lyrics:|\\
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 all sufficient merit,\\
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.\\
\\
