Come, ye faithful, raise the strain

Author: St John of Damascus, d. c.754; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126:6 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.

God fills them with his fullness, all things with large increase; he crowns the year with blessing, with plenty and with peace. 3 Bring to this sacred altar the gifts his goodness gave, the golden sheaves of harvest, the souls Christ died to save. Your hearts lay down before him when at his feet you fall, and with your lives adore him who gave his life for all.
