Come thou long expected Jesus

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.

CHORUS:
Son of God with us Immanuel
Come and dwell in the midst of us Immanuel

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.

(Tune "Hyfrydol" by Rowland Hugh Prichard - Chorus words and music by Sheri Carr)
