lyrics

VERSE 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
Israel's strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth Thou art
Dear desire of every nation, Joy of every longing heart

VERSE 2:
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

VERSE 3:
At the hand of sinful people, Lord, Thou gave Thyself to die
(And) for such sinners, weak and feeble, raised Thy broken flesh to life
Thou, triumphant, death defeated
Sin has lost all power o'er me
Come Thou long-awaited Jesus
Come again and set us free

Love the way the songs progress. The hymns that I remember in a way that is not too far removed from the originals I grew up with. Reminds me of KOINE, another Lutheran artist who portrays hymns for the next generation! baa055
