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 ev'ry nation, joy of ev'ry longing heart
Born thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever, now the 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
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room
And heav'n and nature sing, and heav'n and nature sing
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing
Joy to the world, joy to the world
The Lord is come
