Hail, thou long-expected Jesus 
1 Hail, thou long expected Jesus, Born to set thy people free! From our sins and fears release us. Let us find our rest in thee. 
2 Israel's strength and consolation, Hope of all the saints, thou art Long desir'd of every nation, Joy of every waiting heart. 
3 Born thy people to deliver. Born a child, yet God our King, Born to reign in us for ever. Now thy gracious kingdom bring.
