Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

Verse 1:

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

Verse 2:

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

We’re waiting on you, waiting on you, waiting on you, oh Jesus

We’re waiting on you, waiting on you, waiting on you, our Savior
