"Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus" is a 1744 Advent and Christmas carol common in Protestant hymnals. The text was written by Charles Wesley. It is performed to one of several tunes, including "Stuttgart" (attr. to Christian Friedrich Witt), "Hyfrydol" (by Rowland Prichard), and "Cross of Jesus" (by John Stainer). The hymn is considered an enduring classic in Christian hymnody.
