Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #77 (1991) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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. Scripture: Acts 13:32 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
