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 O're the hills the angels singing, news - glad tidings of a birth Go to Him your praises bringing, Christ the Lord has come to earth (Oos) Come to earth to taste our sadness, He whose glory knows no end By His life He brings us gladness, our Redeemer - Shepherd Friend Living riches without number, born within a cattle stall This, the everlasting wonder - Christ was born the Lord of all (Oos) Come thou long expected Jesus, born to set thy people free From our sins and fears release us, let us find our rest in Thee
