Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #89 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 First Line: Come, Thou long-expected Jesus Lyrics: 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.
2 Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
3 Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a King.
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
4 By Thine own eternal Spirit,
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all-sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.
AMEN. Topics: Advent and Nativity Languages: English Tune Title: WILSON
