Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal #103 (2011) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Hymnal Title: African Methodist Episcopal Church Hymnal 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 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.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Jesus Advent and Nativity Scripture: Haggai 2:7 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
