Meredith Andrews - Come Thou Long Expected Jesus 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
Joy of every 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

You draw the hearts of shepherds
You draw the hearts of kings
Even as a baby, You were changing everything
You called me to Your Kingdom
Before Your lips could speak
And even as a baby, You were reaching out for me
And now we are awaiting
The day of Your return
When every eye will see You
As heaven comes to earth
Until the sky is opened
Until the trumpet sounds
The bride is getting ready
The church is singing out

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
Come, thou long expected King

    Wasn’t sure how I felt about this when I heard it but listening to hear it more I love it!! Especially the bridge. Just feels like it ties it all together!

  6. N.... V....

    What a beautiful video for one of my very favorite Christmas hymns!!!! Thanks so much, Meredith Andrews. I'm going to use this in our children's ministry this month as we go through Advent.

    My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ himself. Oh, when I stand before his throne, who will I be? What will he see? Will I fall to my knees? Will I gaze into his glorious face? Come, Lord Jesus, come.

  10. R.... G....

    This song broke me into tears. Realizing that Jesus had been reaching for us even as a baby. Just how undeserving we are ,yet how much he wants us. Just in awe of Jesus and how much he loves us!!!

  11. K.... W....

    ThiS SonG/Arrangement is AWESOME ! Love it. Those harmonies toward the end are tight/bold !!

  12. K.... S....

    I'm still not sure how I feel about the first half of the bridge. But boy, the second half of the bridge and the last verse pull it all together!

    K.... S....

    Just curious, what concerns do you have about first half of the bridge?

    K.... S....

    Not concerns, really. It just doesn't go as deep as the verses do, so it seemed like a kind of lame insertion. But as I said, the second half of the bridge brings it home, so I don't mind the first half too much. I just still feel like it's a little simple to fit well. But it works.

    K.... S....

    @Katherine S I think it's because the second half of the bridge clearly has a lot of Biblical references which the lyrics are pulling from, while the first half feels like fluff in comparison. And the dude's voice coming in to harmonize the second half does add that extra touch of "yesssssssss!"

    K.... S....

    @ndnapollo That is entirely possible. :)

  13. w.... ....

    The lyrics are beautiful

  14. B.... T....

    Looking for an accompaniment track for this song, but can't find anywhere. Can you help?

    B.... T....

    You can find tracks for this at both Multitracks.com and LoopCommunity.com

  15. C.... S....

    Wow, love her take on this classic Wesley hymn. Beautiful!

    C.... S....

    It really is wonderful! Meredith is a beautiful woman & seriously talented! Enjoying this song so much...sounds so good.

  16. J.... H....

    I love this rendition of this song🎵

  17. J.... L....

    I thought she wrote this..... Then i found out she didnt... Made it a little less awesome.. But still a big blessing

    J.... L....

    original was written in 1744 by Charles Wesley! but this is Meredith's own arrangement and the bridge is new.

    J.... L....

    Actually it makes it MORE awesome. A 250 year old hymn that can still bless us with truth, just made a little better!

  18. A.... R....

    Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah!!!!
    Praise to our expected King!!!! Beautiful voice Beautiful song!! I am an Alto too! I love singing along with your praises of worship songs!! God bless you and your family Meredith!!
