• Lyrics:
  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.
  
  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.
  
  
  • Charles Wesley (1707-1788), 1745
