lyrics

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

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

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...
Joy of every longing heart
