Lyrics as follows:
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 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.

O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord,
lying in a manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear
Christ the Lord.
Alleluia!
