Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus: Advent and Christmas with Charles Wesley is unavailable, but you can change that!

This volume offers Advent and Christmas meditations based on the seasonal hymns of Charles Wesley—including “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” and “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus.” Each daily meditation, keyed to the scripture reading for the day and portions of Wesley’s texts, concludes with a brief prayer based on the day’s theme. Reflective material places Wesley within his rich Anglican heritage....

And following close thy secret grace Emerge into that glorious place Where darkness is no more. The universal Light thou art, And turn’d to thee the darkest heart A glimmering spark may find; Let man reject it or embrace, Thou offerest once thy saving grace To me, and all mankind. Light of my soul, I follow thee, In humble faith on earth to see Thy perfect day of love, And then with all thy saints in light To gain the beatific sight Which makes their heaven above. (Scripture Hymns, vol. 2, Hymn 400)
