Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain

Author: John of Damascus; J. M. Neale Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #315 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Biblical Characters Jacob; Biblical Characters Pharaoh Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain of triumphant gladness; God hath brought his Israel into joy from sadness: loosed from Pharoah'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 hath burst his prison, and from three days' sleep in death as a sun hath risen. All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from his light, to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendor, with the royal feast of feasts, comes its joy to render; comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection. 4 Neither might the gates of death, nor the tomb's dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal hold thee as a mortal: but today amidst thine own thou didst stand, bestowing thine own peace which evermore passeth human knowing. Scripture: Exodus 14:22 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. KEVIN

O might with them the world, though gone astray, pass into Christ'spure life of sacrifice. 4 Anoint them rulers, gentle rulers, Lord! Anoint them with the Spirit of thy Son: theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword; theirs, by strong love, for Christ a kingdom won. 5 Send them, apostles, heralds of thy cross; forth may they go to tell all realms thy grace: inspired of thee, may they count all but loss, and stand at last with joy before thy face.
