\u201cBut when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons\u201d (Galatians 4:4-5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. 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\u2019s strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of ev\u2019ry nation,
Joy of every longing heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Joy to those who long to see Thee
Day-spring from on high, appear.
Come, Thou promised Rod of Jesse,
Of Thy birth, we long to hear!
O\u2019er the hills the angels singing
News, glad tidings of a birth;
\u201cGo to Him your praises bringing
Christ the Lord has come to earth!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Come to earth to taste our sadness,
He whose glories knew no end.
By His life He brings us gladness,
Our redeemer, Shepherd, Friend.
Leaving riches without number,
Born within a cattle stall;
This the everlasting wonder,
Christ was born the Lord of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a King,
Born to reign in us for ever,
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
