Come Thou Long Expected Jesus 12/23/2009
This is the season of Advent--the season where we celebrate Christ's birth. This season we commemorate Jesus' incarnation, and what better way to do that than by a hymn! :-) Here is one of my favorite Christmas hymns and I think one of the best ever written. It tells us who Jesus is, why He came, why we need Him, and provides a plea to Him to rule in us alone. I hope you are blessed by this hymn, and I hope that you have a very blessed Christmas! 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 for ever, 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.

Every month, I will be posting the lyrics of a hymn as the new Hymn of the Month. I hope you will read it and try to apply it...hymns are such a blessing, let's not let them go to waste. My dad suggested something to me. He said whenever you're down or are facing a temptation, start to sing...so I sing hymns. There are different types of hymns. Some for praising God, some about the nature of God, and some about how God relates to His people. I bet you there is a good hymn for any sort of situation you are in, so I hope the ones I put up here every month will be helpful. Feel free to comment on any of these hymns and share any insight that you might have. ArchivesFebruary 2010 |
