Charles Wesley, 1744 (Verses 1 & 4)
Mark Hunt, 1978 (Verses 2 & 3)
- 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 ev’ry nation,
- Joy of every longing heart.
- Verse 2
- Joy to those who long to see Thee
- Day-spring from on high, appear.
- Come, Thou promised Rod of Jesse,
- Of Thy birth, we long to hear!
- O’er the hills the angels singing
- News, glad tidings of a birth;
- “Go to Him your praises bringing
- Christ the Lord has come to earth!”
- Verse 3
- Come to earth to taste our sadness,
- He whose glories knew no end.
- By His life He brings us gladness,
- Our redeemer, Shepherd, Friend.
- Leaving riches without number,
- Born within a cattle stall;
- This the everlasting wonder,
- Christ was born the Lord of all.
- Verse 4
- Born Thy people to deliver,
- Born a child, and yet a King,
- Born to reign in us for ever,
- 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.
