Dear Doves,

In my letter of 12-3, "The Desire Of All Nations", i shared how in church Sunday, we sang a song that had the words "the desire of all nations" in it and how they were in Haggai 2, which also refers to Hanukkah.

I emailed the worship leader and asked what the name of the song was.  Not only did I receive the name of the song, but the entire song with the sheet music! Yippee!  

I thought you would enjoy reading the words to this song, "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus."  Hope they bring you as much joy as they do me.  Love the very last line!  Can't wait!  See you all soon!

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

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
