Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: Church Book #126 (1890) Meter: 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.
Israel's Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
2 Born Thy people to deliver;
Born a Child, and yet a King;
Born to reign in us for ever,
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, Fourth Sunday; Sunday after Christmas; Lent, Second Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HILARY
