Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus

December 23, 2012 by memullin

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 they 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. Amen.
 
Charles Wesley, 1744
