A CHRISTMAS HYMN

Come, O Long-Expected JESUS

Come, O long-expected Jesus,
Born to set Your people free; From our fears and sins release usBy Your death on Calvary. Israel’s strength and consolation,
Hope to all the earth impart, Dear desire of ev’ry nation, Joy of ev’ry longing heart. Born Your people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a king; Born to reign in us forever, Now Your gracious kingdom bring. By Your own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone; By Your all-sufficient merit Raise us to Your glorious throne.

By Charles Wesley
