Description
For the third Sunday in Advent, I decided to post one of my favorite Advent hymns; "Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus". Actually, I'm not posting the song, only one of the tunes that I know this hymn can be sung to, which is 'Hyfrodol'. This arrangement is for flute, oboe, guitar, piano and bass. It took me over a year to write, because I had a difficult time getting everything just right. I took a few months to let it sit, and work with it some more, and I'm quite satisfied with this particular arrangement. This was written in 2006, and has been posted elsewhere, and I noted that it has been linked to by a church website and a Catholic devotional site, so I decided to share it here, too. The album art is a picture of the big window in our church. Enjoy the holidays!

Lyrics
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 world thou art.
Dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart.
From our fears and sins release us, let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel's strength and consolation, hope of all the world thou art.
Dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart.
