[Verse 1]
Come, blessed Promised One, set Thy people free,
and from our fear and sins release us;
Lord, let us find our rest in Thee,
our Redeemer, Savior, King of kings and the Lord of lords.
Be Thou Israel's strength and consolation,
The hope of all the earth Thou art.
O come, desire of ev'ry nation,
The joy of ev'ry longing heart.
Come, blessed Promised One.

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Come, blessed Promised One, Born a child yet a King;
Born now to reign in us forever,
with haste Thy gracious kingdom bring
Our Redeemer, Savior, King of kings and the Lord of lords.
By Thine own eternal Spirit,
Now rule in all our hearts alone;
And by Thine all sufficient merit,
Lord, raise us to Thy glorious throne.
Come, blessed Promised One.

[Coda]
Come, O come, O come,
O come, Lord Jesus come.
