Hail, Thou Long Expected Jesus Lyrics

1. Hail, thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free!
From our sins and fears release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.

2. Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the saints, Thou art;
Long desired of every nation,
Joy of every waiting heart.

3. Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child, yet God our King,
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.

4. By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
