Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #306 (1994) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Come, O long expected Jesus,
Born to set your people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Free us from captivity.
2 Israel's strength and consolation,
You, the hope of all the earth,
Dear desire of ev'ry nation,
Come, and save us by your birth.
3 Born your people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a king!
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now your gracious kingdom bring.
4 By your own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By your all-sufficient merit
Raise us to your glorious throne. Topics: Advent; End Times; Jesús; Mercy of God; Sacraments/Rites Reconciliation Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART
