Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #30 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 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 for ever;
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
4 By thy own eternal Spirit,
rule in all our hearts alone:
by thy all-sufficient merit,
raise us to thy glorious throne. Topics: Advent; Advent Sunday Year C; Church Year Advent; Deliverance; Jesus Names and images for; Rest; The Second Sunday of Advent Year B Scripture: Haggai 2:7 Languages: English Tune Title: CROSS OF JESUS
