about

This old Christmas carol is one we hear too little, I think. The words that Charles Wesley penned are beautifully true!

Special thanks to Katie Joy Nellis for adding her beautiful harmonies to this track!

lyrics

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 ev'ry nation,
Joy of ev'ry 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.

I'm simply a songwriter who loves Jesus, music, and words. I'm thrilled to be a wife and mommy, and the writing and recording of this music simply gets fit into the cracks of my days as I spend most of my time caring for our family and home.
