Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #145 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: Luke 2:25 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 ev'ry 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 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: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ First Advent of; Christ Kingdom of Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
