Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 755 hymnals Lyrics:
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.
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.

Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
Author: Claudia Frances Hernaman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us didst fast and pray,
Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins,
And close by Thee to stay.
2 As Thou with Satan didst contend,
And didst the victory win,
O give us strength in Thee to fight,
In Thee to conquer sin.
3 And through these days of penitence,
And through Thy Passiontide,
Yea, evermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
4 Abide with us, that so, this life
Of suffering over-past,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last!

Now, on Land and Sea Descending
Author: Samuel Longfellow Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.6.8.7 Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now, on land and sea descending,
Brings the night its peace profound;
Let our vesper hymn be blending
With the holy calm around.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!
Let our vesper hymn be blending
With the holy calm around.
2 Soon as dies the sunset glory,
Stars of heaven shine out above,
Telling still the ancient story -
Their Creator’s changeless love.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!
Telling still the ancient story -
Their Creator’s changeless love.
3 Now, our wants and burdens leaving
To God’s care Who cares for all,
Cease we fearing, cease we grieving:
At God's touch our burdens fall.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!
Cease we fearing, cease we grieving,
At God's touch our burdens fall.
4 As the darkness deepens o’er us
Lo! eternal stars arise;
Hope and faith and love rise glorious,
Shining in the Spirit’s skies.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!
Hope and faith and love rise glorious,
Shining in the Spirit’s skies.

Make Me A Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
And then I shall be free;
Force me to render up my sword,
And I shall conqueror be.
2 I sink in life’s alarms
When by myself I stand;
Imprison me within Thine arms,
And strong shall be my hand.
3 My heart is weak and poor
Until it master find;
It has no spring of action sure.
It varies with the wind.
4 It cannot freely move
Till Thou hast wrought its chain;
Enslave it with Thy matchless love,
And deathless it shall reign.
5 My will is not my own
Till Thou hast made it Thine;
If it would reach a monarch’s throne,
It must its crown resign;
6 It only stands unbent
Amid the clashing strife,
When on Thy bosom it has leant,
And found in Thee its life.

Zion, let me enter there,
Where my soul in joyful duty
Waits for God who answers prayer;

Filled with solace, light, and grace!

Come Thou also down to me;
Where we find Thee and adore Thee,
There a heaven on earth must be;
To my heart O enter Thou,
Let it be Thy temple now.

Let Thy will be done indeed;
May I undisturbed draw near Thee,
While Thou dost Thy people feed.
Here of life the fountain flows,
Here is balm for all our woes.
