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