Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866); St John of Damascus (c. 675-c. 750) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 379 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye 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 to-day;
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 splendour,
with the royal feast of feasts,
comes its joy to render;
comes 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. Topics: Church Year Easter; Easter; Joy; Praise; Victory Scripture: Exodus 14 Used With Tune: ST JOHN DAMASCENE

Jesus, Name all names above
Author: Theoctistus of the Studium; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.7.7 Appears in 68 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Name all names above,
Jesus, best and dearest,
Jesus, Fount of perfect love,
Holiest, tenderest, nearest;
Jesus, Source of grace completest,
Jesus purest, Jesus sweetest,
Jesus, Well of power divine,
Make me, keep me, seal me Thine!
2 Thou didst call the prodigal;
Thou didst pardon Mary;
Thou Whose words can never fall,
Love can never vary;
Thou Whose wounds are ever pleading,
And Thy passion interceding,
From my misery let me rise
To a home in Paradise!
3 Jesus, crowned with thorns for me,
Scourged for my transgression,
Witnessing, through agony,
That Thy good confession;
Jesus, clad in purple raiment,
For my evils making payment,
Let not all Thy woe and pain,
Let not Calvary be in vain!
4 When I reach death’s bitter sea,
And its waves mount higher,
Earthly help forsaking me,
As the storm draws nigher:
Jesus, leave me not to languish:
Helpless, hopeless, full of anguish!
Jesus, let me hear Thee say:
"Thou shalt be with Me to-day!"
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: ST. JOHN DAMASCENE

When the King shall come again
Author: Christopher Idle (b. 1938) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again
all his power revealing,
splendour shall announce his reign,
life and joy and healing:
earth no longer in decay,
hope no more frustrated;
this is God's redemption-day
longingly awaited.
2 In the desert trees take root
fresh from his creation;
plants and flowers and sweetest fruit
join the celebration:
rivers spring up from the earth,
barren lands adorning;
valleys, this is your new birth,
mountains, greet the morning!
3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees,
fainting hearts, be cheerful!
God who comes for such as these
seeks and saves the fearful:
deaf ears hear the silent tongues
sing away their weeping;
blind eyes see the lifeless ones
walking, running, leaping.
4 There God's highway shall be seen
where no roaring lion,
nothing evil or unclean
walks the road to Zion:
ransomed people homeward bound,
all your praises voicing,
see your Lord with glory crowned,
share in his rejoicing! Topics: Advent; Advent Sunday Year A; Church Year Advent; Church Year Christ the King; Creation; Heaven; Jesus coming again; Kingdom of God; The Third Sunday before Advent Year A Scripture: Isaiah 35 Used With Tune: ST JOHN DAMASCENE
