Text: | Come, thou long-expected Jesus |
Author (Verses): | Charles Wesley (1707-88) |
1 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.
Refrain:
Sweet chiming bells, O how they ring
To welcome Christ, the new-born King;
Sweet chiming bells, O how they ring
To welcome Christ, the King.
2 All thy people’s consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
3 Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now thy gracious Kingdom bring.
4 By thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne.
