Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain

Author: John of Damascus, 8th cent.; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals 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 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.

When the King Shall Come Again

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again, all his power revealing, splendor 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 God's 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!

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph Simpson Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals First Line: Gentle Mary laid her child Lyrics: 1. Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger; There He lay, the undefiled, To the world a stranger: Such a Babe in such a place, Can He be the Savior? Ask the saved of all the race Who have found His favor. 2. Angels sang about His birth; Wise men sought and found Him; Heaven's star shone brightly forth, Glory all around Him: Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, Heard the angels singing; All the plains were lit that night, All the hills were ringing. 3. Gentle Mary laid her Child Lowly in a manger; He is still the undefiled, But no more a stranger: Son of God, of humble birth, Beautiful the story; Praise His name in all the earth, Hail the King of glory!

Let Us Now Our Voices Raise

Author: Joseph the Hymnographer; John M. Neale Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let us now our voices raise, Wake the day with gladness; God Himself to joy and praise Turns our human sadness; Joy that martyrs won their crown, Opened heav’ns bright portal, When they laid the mortal down For the life immortal. 2. Never flinched they from the flame, From the torment never; Vain the tyrant’s sharpest aim, Vain each fierce endeavor: For by faith they saw the land Decked in all its glory, Where triumphant now they stand With the victor’s story. 3. Up and follow, Christian men! Press through toil and sorrow; Spurn the night of fear, and then, O the glorious morrow! Who will venture on the strife; Who will first begin it? Who will grasp the land of life? Warriors, up and win it! Used With Tune: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM
