序號 中文 英文
1 久望耶穌懇求降臨，主生為要救萬民；
釋我罪惡去我憂心，賜我平安與主親。		 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.
2 以色列族靠主安心，世界希望主來臨；
萬國萬民虔誠仰望，饑渴靈魂得歡欣。		 Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.
3 降生世界為救萬邦，聖嬰雖小是君王。
降生世界治理我眾，引進天國主牧場。		 Born thy people to deliver,
born a child and yet a King,
born to reign in us forever,
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
4 祈求主將永恆聖靈，治理我心作我君，
惟有靠主完全功勳，舉我高升主榮庭。阿們。		 By thine own eternal spirit
rule in all our hearts alone;
by thine all sufficient merit,
raise us to thy glorious throne.
