Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #34 (2010) 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 thine own eternal Spirit,
rule in all our hearts alone;
by thine all-sufficient merit,
raise us to thy glorious throne. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: CROSS OF JESUS
