Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 748 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:27-32 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.
2 Israel's strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art,
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.
3 Born thy people to deliver,
born a child, and yet a King,
born to reign in us for ever,
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
4 By thine own eternal Spirit
rule in all our hearts alone;
by thine all-sufficient merit
raise us to thy glorious throne. Topics: Christ Risen Coming Again; Christ Incarnate Promise of the Messiah; Christian Year Advent Used With Tune: STUTTGART
Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Christians, awake!
Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 185 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 First Line: Christians, awake! salute the happy morn Lyrics: 1 Christians, awake! salute the happy morn,
whereon the Saviour of the world was born;
rise to adore the mystery of love,
which hosts of angels chanted from above:
with them the joyful tidings first begun
of God incarnate and the Virgin's Son.
2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
who heard th'angelic herald's voice, 'Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth
to you and all the nations upon earth:
this day hath God fulfilled his promised word,
this day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.'
3 He spake; and straightway the celestial choir
in hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire;
the praises of redeeming love they sang,
and heav'n's whole orb with alleluias rang:
God's highest glory was their anthem still,
peace upon earth, in every heart good will.
4 To Bethl'em straight th'enlightened shepherds ran,
to see, unfolding, God's eternal plan,
and found, with Joseph and the blessèd maid,
her Son, the Saviour, in a manger laid:
then to their flocks, still praising God, return,
and their glad hearts with holy rapture burn.
5 O may we keep and ponder in our mind
God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind;
trace we the babe, who hath retrieved our loss,
from his poor manger to his bitter cross;
tread in his steps, assisted by his grace,
till our first heav'nly state again takes place.
6 Then may we hope, th'angelic hosts among,
to sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song:
he that was born upon this joyful day
around us all his glory shall display;
saved by his love, incessant we shall sing
eternal praise to heav'n's almighty King. Topics: Christmas; Years A, B, and C Christmas Day Used With Tune: YORKSHIRE (STOCKPORT)

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 91 hymnals Scripture: Luke 2:6-9 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the stars of night,
your people's everlasting light,
O Christ, redeemer of us all,
we pray you, hear us when we call.
2 When earth drew on to darkest night,
you came, but not in splendour bright,
not as a king, but as the child
of Mary, Virgin mother mild.
3 At your great name, majestic now,
all knees must bend, all hearts must bow:
all things on earth with one accord
join those in heaven to call you Lord.
4 To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honour, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally. Amen. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Promise of the Messiah; Mary Used With Tune: CONDITOR ALME Text Sources: Latin hymn, 9th century

gently and lowly lived below;
now as our glorious mighty Redeemer,
see him victorious o'er each foe.

worthy our Saviour of all their praises;
happy for ever are his own. Topics: Years A, B, and C Christmas Day Used With Tune: BUNESSAN
