Hymnal: The Little Seraph #70b (1874) First Line: Come, thou long expected Jesus 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 saints thou art.
Dear desire of every 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 precious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal Spirit,
Rules in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit.
Raise us to thy glorious throne. Tune Title: BAVARIA
