Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 749 hymnals 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 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. Topics: Jesus, Advent; Jesus, Deliverer Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL
Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
O, The Blessed Promise
Author: J. C. Starr Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: O, the blessed promise given Lyrics: 1 O, the blessèd promise given
On the hills of Galilee
To the weary, heavy laden,
Still is made to you and me.
Many a heart has thrilled to hear it,
Many a tear been wiped away,
Many a load of sin been lifted,
Many a midnight turned to day.
2 Many a broken, contrite spirit,
Lonely, sorrowing and sad,
Felt the mighty consolation,
Heard the heavenly tidings glad;
And the dying gazed with rapture,
Trusting in the Savior’s name,
On the land of rest and refuge,
When the Burden Bearer came.
3 Every phase of human sorrow
Fills the path we tread today;
Harps are hanging on the willows,
Souls are fainting by the way;
But there still is balm in Gilead,
And though here on earth we weep,
God within the many mansions,
Giveth His belovèd sleep.
4 On the cloud the rainbow glitters,
Shines the star of faith above;
God will not forsake or leave us—
Let us trust His truth and love,
And beyond the shining river
We shall bless His holy name,
That to bear our sins and sorrows,
Christ the Burden Bearer came. Used With Tune: CAPRI
O, The Blessed Promise
We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks through our clouds and shadows,
splendor bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the Law and Prophets meet:
Christ with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
We, like Peter, find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
That our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless.

Summon every faithful soul!

Ere it opens, call the roll! [Refrain]

Who are left? now call the roll! [Refrain]

Underneath His conquering banner
Rally now, and call the roll! [Refrain] Used With Tune: SONORA Text Sources: The Jeweled Crown by Asa Hull (New York: Asa Hull, 1891)
