Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Author: St John of Damascus, d. c.754; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Complete Anglican Hymns Old and New #132b (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Years A, B, and C Easter Vigil Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness;
God hath brought his Israel
into joy from sadness;
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendour,
with the royal feast of easts,
comes it joy to render;
come to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesu's resurrection.
4 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. Scripture: Acts 2:24 Languages: English Tune Title: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM

Praise to our victorious King,
Who has washed us in the tide
Flowing from his pierced side.
Praise we him, whose love divine
Gives his sacred Blood for wine,
Gives his Body for the feast:
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
2 Where the Paschal blood is poured,
Death's dread angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, Paschal bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.
3 Mighty victim from on high,
Hell's fierce pow'rs beneath you lie;
You have conquered in the fight,
You have brought us life and light.
Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
You have opened paradise,
And in you your saints shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
This alone can sin destroy;
From sin's pow'r, Lord, set us free,
Newborn souls in you to be.
Father, who the crown shall give,
Savior, by whose death we live,
Spirit, guide through all our days:
Three in One, your name we praise. Scripture: Exodus 15 Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG
