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

Amen. Blessings dear Ellen.
Amen!!
What a jumble of tunes that rang in my head as I read the first lines of this great hymn. Whichever tune, may we all “find our rest in Thee.”
Liked – “Let us find our rest in Thee.” Peace and blessing to you!
