Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus ============================== m: Rowland H. Prichard, 1830 w: Charles Wesley, 1744 Tune: Hyfrydol [Verse 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. [Verse 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.
