Come, O Long-Expected Jesus

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Journeysongs (3rd ed.) #296 (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Matthew 11:8-30 Lyrics: 1 Come, O long-expected Jesus, Born to set your people free! From our fears and sins release us, You in whom our rest shall be. 2 Israel's strength and consolation, Hope to all the earth impart; Dear desire of ev'ry nation, Joy of ev'ry longing heart. 2 Born your people to deliver, Born a child and yet a king: Born to reign in us forever, Now your gracious kingdom bring. 4 By your own eternal Spirit Rule in all our hearts alone; By your all-sufficient merit Raise us to your glorious throne.

One There Is, above All Others

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #186 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Scripture: Matthew 11:19 Lyrics: 1 One there is, above all others, well deserves the name of Friend; his is love beyond a brother's, costly, free, and knows no end. They who once his kindness prove find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, could or would have shed his blood? But our Jesus died to have us reconciled in him to God. This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When he lived on earth abased, "Friend of sinners" was his name; Now above all glory raised, he rejoices in the same; still he calls them brethren, friends, and to all their wants attends. 4 Could we bear from one another what he daily bears from us? Yet this glorious Friend and Brother loves us though we treat him thus: though for good we render ill, he accounts us brethren still. 5 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love, we, alas! forget too often what a Friend we have above: but when home our souls are brought, we will love you as we ought.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Hymnal: Glory to God #343 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 11:18-20 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, from human grief and burdened toil, from famished souls, from sorrow's stress, your heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the sweet compassion of your face. 5 O Master, from the mountainside, make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide; O tread the city's streets again; 6 Till all the world shall learn your love, and follow where your feet have trod; till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.
