Anthem - Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus    arr. Robert Hobby - Chancel Choir

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.

Rule in all; hope of all. Come, expected Jesus. Come.
