Poem 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 for ever,
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. Amen.

1. Father, Saviour of Mankind
2. Father of Ev­er­last­ing Grace
3. Jesus, from Whom All Blessings Grow
4. Happy the Souls to Jesus Joined
5. Righteous, Sin Aveng­ing God
