Composed by Todd Marchand. Christian,Sacred,Christmas. Score. 3 pages. Published by Con Spirito Music (S0.653293).

Charles Wesley (1707-1788) was a leader of the Methodist movement and perhaps the pre-emininent hymn-writer of all time, authoring approximately 6,500 hymn texts.

His Advent hymn, "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus," from Hymns for the Nativity of our Lord (1744), alludes to both the first coming of the Messiah and His return. Each stanza reflects a different idea: Stanza 1, the longing for freedom from sin and fear; Stanza 2, attributes of, or names for, Christ; Stanza 3, the Messiah's birth, kingdom, and purpose; and Stanza 4, a prayer for Christ's rule in believers' hearts. Among the Scriptures referenced in hymn are 2 Corinthians 4:14, Revelation 3:21, Isaiah 61:1-2, Luke 4:18-19, and Romans 6:22.

This anthem for SATB choir and organ sets Wesley's text to an original tune.
