61.
Reading edition
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.
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.
