Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #11 (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: Hymnal and Order of Service Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set the captive 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.
Amen. Topics: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: LUX EOI
Come, Thou Long-expected Jesus
