Hymn: “Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus” by Charles Wesley

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.

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.
