Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #238 (2012) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Scripture: Isaiah 52:7 Lyrics: 1 Come, O long-expected Jesus,
Born to set your people free;
From our fears and sins release us:
Christ, in you our rest shall be.
2 Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope to all the earth impart;
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Enter ev'ry longing heart.
3 Born your people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a king;
Born to reign in us forever,
Now your gracious kingdom bring.
4 By your own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By your all-sufficient merit
Raise us to your glorious throne. Topics: Advent Season; Captivity; Comfort; Exile; Freedom; Hope; Jesus Christ; Petition, Prayer; Salvation; Sickness; Trust, Confidence Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART
