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. 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 thy own eternal spirit, Rule in all our hearts alone: By thy all-sufficient merit, Raise us to thy glorious throne. |
Veni, Jesus expectate liberator hominum! Culpa solve nos, et a te detur nobis otium. Firmas Iacob et solaris, unus orbi spem parans; gentibus desideraris, supplices laetificans. Nate populi salvator idem rector et puer, sempiterne moderator, iura nobis alma fer. Semper inspirare volens solus intra nos rege, daque nobis omnipollens iuxta te considere. |
