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.
Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down;
Fix in us thy humble dwelling; All thy faithful mercies crown!
Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter every trembling heart.
Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit, Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit; Let us find that second rest.
Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its Beginning, Set our hearts at liberty.
Come, Almighty to deliver, Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return and never, never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love.
Finish, then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be.
Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee;
Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Peace on Earth Descend
04:03

Glory be to God on high, and peace on earth descend;
Now God comes down, He bows the sky, and shows Himself our friend!
God the invisible appears, God the blest, the great I AM,
He sojourns in this vale of tears, and Jesus is His name.
Him by the angels all adored, Their maker and their king; Lo, tidings of their humbled Lord They now to mortals bring; Emptied of His majesty,
Of His dazzling glories shorn,
Our being’s Source begins to be, And God Himself is born!
With the angels sing... Glory be to God on high!
See the eternal Son of God a mortal Son of Man,
Now dwelling in an earthly clod whom Heaven cannot contain!
Stand amazed, ye heavens, look at this! see the Lord of earth and skies Low humbled to the dust He is, and in a manger lies!
So do the sons of men rejoice the Prince of Peace proclaim,
With Heaven’s host lift up our voice, and shout Immanuel’s name; Our knees and hearts to Him we bow; of our flesh, and of our bone, See—Jesus is our brother now, and God is all our own!
