Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #254 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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.
Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art,
dear desire of ev'ry nation,
joy of ev'ry longing heart.
2 Born thy people to deliver,
born a child, and yet a King;
born to reign in us forever,
now thy 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. Topics: Advent; Advent Languages: English Tune Title: JEFFERSON
