Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain

God has 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 has risen; All the winter of our sins, Long and dark, is flying From His light, to whom is giv'n 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 gladden faithful hearts Which with true affection Welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection! 4 For today among His own Christ appeared, bestowing His deep peace, which evermore Passes human knowing. Neither could the gates of death Nor the tomb's dark portal Nor the watchers nor the seal Hold Him as a mortal. 5 Alleluia! Now we cry To our King immortal, Who, triumphant, burst the bars Of the tomb's dark portal. Come, you faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness! God has brought His Israel Into joy from sadness! Used With Tune: GAUDEAMUS PARITER

Hymn 122

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:3-4 First Line: Do we not know that solemn word Lyrics: Do we not know that solemn word, That we are buried with the Lord, Baptized into his death, and then Put off the body of our sin? Our souls receive diviner breath, Raised from corruption, guilt, and death; So from the grave did Christ arise, And lives to God above the skies. No more let sin or Satan reign Over our mortal flesh again; The various lusts we served before Shall have dominion now no more.

Buried with Christ, and dead to sin: your Spirit e'er shall live within. 2 My loving Father, me you've taken fore'er to be your child and heir; my faithful Savior, me you've given your righteous, holy life to share; O Holy Spirit, you will be a comfort, guide, and help to me. 3 And I have vowed to fear and love you, and to obey you, Lord, alone; because the Holy Spirit moved me I dared to pledge myself your own, renouncing sin to keep the faith, and war with evil unto death. 4 My faithful God, your Word fails never, your cov'nant surely will abide; oh, cast me not away forever, should I transgress it on my side! Though I have oft my soul defiled, in love forgive, restore your child. 5 Yes, all I am and love most dearly I offer now, O Lord, to you. Oh, let me make my vows sincerely, and what I say, help me to do. Let naught within me, naught I own, serve any will but yours alone. 6 And never let my purpose falter, O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but keep me faithful to your altar, till you shall call me from my post. So unto you I live and die, and praise you evermore on high.

His glories now we sing who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds yet visible above, in beauty glorified.

At the Name of Jesus

Author: Caroline M. Noel Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 252 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:4 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now; 'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2 At his voice creation sprang at once to sight: all the angel faces, all the hosts of light, thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, all the heavenly orders in their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners, unto whom he came; faithfully he bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious when from death he passed; 4 bore it up triumphant with its human light, through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, to the throne of Godhead, to the Father's breast; filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. 5 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true. Look to him, your Savior, in temptation's hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 6 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory, o'er the earth to reign; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now.
