Text: | Desired of All Nations |
Author: | Rev. Charles Wesley |
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.
2 Israel's Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
3 Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a Child, and yet a King,
Born to reign in us for ever.
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
4 By Thine own eternal Spirit,
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all-sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
