We Are Messengers - Come Thou Long Expected Jesus (Rejoice) 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 every nation Joy of every longing heart

Rejoice

Come to where to taste that sadness He whose glories knew no end By His life He brings us gladness Our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend

Live in riches without number Born within a cattle stall This the everlasting wonder Christ was born. The Lord of all

Rejoice Rejoice Rejoice Oh, every longing heart

Rejoice Rejoice Rejoice Oh, every longing heart

Rejoice Rejoice Rejoice Oh, every longing heart

Rejoice Rejoice Rejoice Oh, every longing heart

Rejoice Rejoice Him the people to deliver, born a child and yet a King Rejoice Rejoice Rejoice 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 Thine glorious throne

Rejoice Rejoice Rejoice Rejoice Oh, longing heart Rejoice
