Come, thou long-expected Jesus
Every year we
Celebrate your
Birthday, Lord.
Every year we
Sing our
Favourite carols,
Hear familiar
Scripture readings.
Everywhere we look
There is more joy and
Happiness in those we see
At work,
At school,
In shops,
Even in long queues at
The checkouts!
Every year we
Pray that you
Will come again,
Soon.
So that all may be free,
Free from fears and
Released from our sins and
Be full of Joy with
Your eternal Spirit
Rushing in all our hearts,
All the time,
Making our joy
Complete.
