Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, 8th cent.; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:8 Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness;
God has brought his people forth
into joy from sadness.
Now rejoice, Jerusalem,
and with true affection
welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
2 Tis the spring of life today!
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days' sleep in death
like the sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying;
welcome now the light of Christ,
give him praise undying.
3 "Alleluia!" now we cry
to our King immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb's dark portal;
"Alleluia!" with the Son,
God the Father praising;
"Alleluia!" yet again
to the Spirit raising.

Alleluia, Alleluia! Hearts to Heaven
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 218 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:6 First Line: Alleluia, alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, alleluia!
Hearts to heaven and voices raise:
sing to God a hymn of gladness,
sing to God a hymn of praise;
he who on the cross a victim
for the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
now is risen from the dead.
2 Alleluia, Christ is risen!
Death at last has met defeat:
see the ancient powers of evil
in confusion and retreat:
once he died, and once was buried:
now he lives forevermore,
Jesus Christ the world's Redeemer,
whom we worship and adore.
3 Christ is risen, we are risen!
Set your hearts on things above:
there in all the Father's glory
lives and reigns our King of love;
hear the word of peace he brings us,
see his wounded hands and side;
now let every wrong be ended,
every sin be crucified.
4 Alleluia, alleluia!
Glory be to God on high!
Alleluia to the Savior
who has gained the victory!
Alleluia to the Spirit,
fount of love and sanctity!
Alleluia, alleluia!
to the Triune Majesty!

Christ Is Alive
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:6 First Line: Christ Is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1. Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2. Christ is alive! No longer bound
To distant years in Palestine,
But saving, healing, here and now
And touching ev'ry place and time.
3. Not throned afar, remotely high,
Untouched, unmoved by human pains,
But daily, in the midst of life,
Our Savior in the God-head reigns.
4. In ev'ry insult, rift, and war,
Where color, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
And lives, where even hope has died.
5. Christ is alive! and comes to bring
Good news to this and ev'ry age,
Till earth and sky and ocean ring
With joy, with justice, love, and praise. Used With Tune: TRURO

Go to dark Gethsemane
Author: Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 503 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:6 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye who feel the tempter's power,
Your Redeemer's conflict see,
Watch with him one bitter hour;
Turn not from his griefs away,
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment-hall,
View the Lord of life arraigned:
Oh, the wormwood and the gall!
Oh, the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss,
Learn of him to bear the cross.
3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
There, adoring at his feet,
Mark that miracle of time--
God's own sacrifice complete;
It is finished, hear him cry,
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid his lifeless clay;
All is solitude and gloom--
Who hath taken him away?
Christ hath risen--he meets our eyes;
Saviour, teach us so to rise.
