O Come, O Come, Emmanuel
Hammered Dulcimer performance of

Timothy Seaman

with Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus
~ ~*~

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.  

~

Words by Charles Wesley
Based on Haggai 2.7
published as a prayer
adapted as a hymn in 1744

~*~

Longing, hope, expectancy and gratitude in our waiting. May we embrace them as we anticipate Emmanuel's coming
in our lives and in our world.
