Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus
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.
Words: Charles Wesley

…I hope that you are having a wonderful Second Sunday of Advent.
Amen. Thank you for your always kind comments. I am trying to be strong and to accept God’s plans with faith. I pray and pray and pray hard. Not so easy… Blessings.
Maristella, you will be in my prayers. Hugs.
Maybe my favorite sacred Christmas song, all minory and with such a rich, deep message.
A beautiful Christmas message.
It is so beautiful how these old Christmas hymns/songs are filled with such rich theology.
We sang the carols/Christmas hymns this Sunday, but not this beautiful one.
