Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

from Christmas by Tangled Blue

/

about

Recorded in our living room with 17 friends and family. Oct. 28th, 2011. I remember singing this hymn in church as a kid. The lyrics are by Charles Wesley; he's probably my favorite hymn writer. Melody is by W. Walker. Photo is by Micah Taylor - micahtaylor.com

The guitar was routed through a Line 6 PodPro and EchoPro to get the flanged distortion effect. Happy Advent! -Joel

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

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
