Christmas 2019 Part 1: Come Thou Long Expected Jesus



Matthew 1:1-17

by Mike Deguzman

Romans 15:4

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.

Luke 1:32-33
John 1:12
Revelation 19:11-16
