THE WEXFORD CAROL (COME SEE THE KING)
Copyright © 2016 Slowly in Type Music (ASCAP)
Verse 1
Good people all, this Christmas time,
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending his beloved son
And with the church we lift our praise
to God with love this Christmas Day
In Bethlehem upon that morn,
There was a blessed Messiah born.
Verse 2
This baby boy, this Nazarene
Has come to end our suffering
Just as the prophets had foretold
By God the Spirit, in days of old.
A man of sorrows, He will be
Our sins He'll bear upon the tree
For now, He sleeps, and all is right
True love was born this holy night
Chorus
Come see the King, the Promised One
Who left his throne, made man for us
Come praise the Son, our Lord, the Lamb
Our God with us, the Great I AM
Verse 3
What joy is ours, what hope have we
For Christ has come to set us free
From sting of death, from guilt and shame
By grace through faith, in Him we're saved.
He'll come again, just as He vowed
Not in a womb, but on the clouds
And for all time, we'll with Him dwell
Our God with us, Emmanuel.

COME, THOU LONG-EXPECTED JESUS
Original lyrics by Charles Wesley
New and Additional Lyrics © 2016 Slowly in Type Music (ASCAP). All Rights Reserved.
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
