Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus arranged by Dan Forrest - BP2314

Sheet Music: beckenhorst.li... is available in print or digital delivery from beckenhorstpress.com
This exhilarating new festival setting of HYFRYDOL will quickly become a favorite opening for your Advent or Christmas concerts! Rhythmic accents, brilliant scoring, motivic development, optional congregational involvement, a cappella middle stanza, and soaring descant (yet easily learnable choral parts) check all the boxes for worship or concert use. For SATB chorus with piano and/or organ, optional brass and percussion. This same musical setting is also available separately with Wesley's "Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" text (BP2315).
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 ev’ry nation,
joy of ev’ry longing heart.
Come, O Sov’reign Prince of Heaven;
Come, O wondrous Love Diving.
Earth and heaven bow before Thee,
Everlasting Peace sublime.
O Thou Source of joy and wonder,
Bless us as we seek Thy face.
At thy manger grant us mercy,
In Thine Advent grant us grace.
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.

Sounds very much like a Wilber’s setting.
