COME, THOU LONG-EXPECTED JESUS
Original lyrics by Charles Wesley

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

Come, O Lord
Tarry not
Our souls long for Thee

Joy to those who long to see Thee
Dayspring, from on high appear
Come, Thou promised rod of Jesse
Of Thy birth we long to hear
O'er the hills the angels singing
News! Glad tidings of his birth
Go to him, your praises ringing
Christ the Lord has come to earth

Come to earth to take our sadness
He, whose glories know no end
By his life he brings us gladness
Our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend
Leaving riches without number
Born within a cattle stall
This, the everlasting wonder:
Christ is born the Lord of all

Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a king
Born to reign in us forever
Now, Thy gracious kingdom bring
By Thy own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thy all-sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne
