Echoes in Eternity

I'm out for familial get-togethers, so hope you all have a great Christmas! When I return, I hope to put out a post on why a social-political conservative (especially an evangelical one) should NOT vote for Mike Huckabee. :)

Until then, I leave you with this:

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 every longing heart.

Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a King,
Born to reign in us for ever,
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.
