Lyrics

Verse 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

Chorus

Israel's strength and consolation
Hope of all the earth thou art
Dear desire of every nation
Joy of every longing heart

Verse 2

Born Thy people to deliver
Born a child and yet a King
Born to reign in us forever
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring

Chorus

By Thine own eternal spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone
By Thine all sufficient merit
Raise us to Thy glorious throne

Bridge

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

Bridge

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

Chorus

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

New Christmas MultiTracks from Meredith Andrews Now Available!

Wednesday, December 13, 2017

Today we are excited to announce the beginning of a new partnership with Word Worship starting with the release of multi-Dove award winner Meredith Andrews' new Christmas album, Receive Our King.  This album was produced by Meredith's husband Jacob Sooter and is full of well-known traditional Christmas songs along with several new original tunes.  "Every year I look forward to when it’s time to listen to Christmas music," she shares. "I have several 'go-to' albums, the ones that immediately take me back to my Christmases as a little girl as well as the ones that are just fun, meaningful, or nostalgic. When it came time to make my own Christmas album, I wanted to capture the beauty and wonder of Jesus coming to earth as a baby to rescue the world and to create a project that would deepen the listener’s experience of Christmas. I am so excited to release Receive Our King for the coming Advent season, and pray that everyone who hears these songs will be drawn in to remember, reflect, and respond to the birth of our Savior that truly was the turning point in history." Check out the the entire album today, which includes "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus," "He Has Come For Us (God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen)," and "Away in a Manger / The Gospel Changes Everything," and pick up the resources you need as you share these songs in your Christmas services this year, including the Original Master MultiTracks, instrument parts in RehearsalMix and charts for each song, which we will be releasing over the next few days.
