Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
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.

Hymn 124
Praise to the Lord the almighty
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation; praise God, my soul, for in him are your health and salvation; come all who hear, into his presence draw near, joining in glad adoration.
Praise to the Lord, who in all things is wondrously reigning, shields you from harm and is gently yet firmly sustaining. Have you not seen how your heart’s wishes have been granted by God’s wise ordaining? Praise to the Lord, who with blessing and power will defend you; surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend you; ponder anew what the Almighty can do: God will for ever befriend you. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him! All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him! Let the Amen sound from God’s people again: gladly for ever adore him. Hymn 532
Lord you have come to the seashore
Lord, you have come to the seashore, neither searching for the rich nor the wise, desiring only that I should follow. O Lord, with your eyes set upon me, gently smiling, you have spoken my name. All I longed for I have found by the water, at your side I will seek other shores. Lord, see my goods, my possessions; in my boat you find no power, no wealth. Will you accept, then, my nets and labour? O Lord, with your eyes set upon me, gently smiling, you have spoken my name. All I longed for I have found by the water, at your side I will seek other shores. Lord, take my hands, and direct them,
Help me spend myself in seeking the lost, returning love for the love you gave me. O Lord, with your eyes set upon me, gently smiling, you have spoken my name. All I longed for I have found by the water, at your side I will seek other shores. Lord, as I drift on the waters, be the resting-place of my restless heart, my life’s companion, my friend and refuge. O Lord, with your eyes set upon me, gently smiling, you have spoken my name. All I longed for I have found by the water, at your side I will seek other shores.
