let us find our rest in thee

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.
