Come ye faithful, raise the strain

Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Appears in 379 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness; God hath brought His Israel Into joy from sadness; 'Tis the spring of souls today: Christ hath burst His prison, And from three days' sleep in death As a sun hath risen. 2 All the winter of our sins, Long and dark, is flying From His light, to whom we give Laud and praise undying. Neither might the gates of death, Nor the tomb's dark portal, Nor the watchers, nor the seal, Hold Thee as a mortal. 3 But to-day amidst the Twelve Thou didst stand, bestowing That Thy peace, which evermore Passeth human knowing. Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness; God hath brought His Israel Into joy from sadness. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: ST. KEVIN

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 1,174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Lord, is risen to-day, Sons of men and angels say; Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply. Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! the Sun's eclipse is o'er; Lo! He sets in blood no more. 2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ hath burst the gates of hell! Death in vain forbids His rise; Christ hath opened Paradise. Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now Thy sting? Once He died our souls to save; Where thy victory, O grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ hath led, Following our exalted Head: Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to Thee by both be given; Thee we greet triumphant now: Hail, the Resurrection Thou! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE
