Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #12 (1917) Hymnal Title: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church 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 every nation,
Joy of every 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.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HILARY
Come, Thou long-expected Jesus
