December 3 Featured Hymn: "Come, Thou long expected Jesus"

It is this sigh of longing that we express when we sing the words of Charles Wesley's beautiful Advent hymn, "Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus." For though we know that Christ goes with us and before us every day, we long for the day when we are with Him in all of the fullness and glory He will bring. We long for the day when we are with Him in a New Heaven and New Earth, when all things are made new. And just as a four-year-old crawls into his father's arms after an extended absence, so too we long for the day when we will be at rest in Christ, enfolded in the embrace of our Savior.
