Come, you faithful, raise the strain

Here today amid your own now you stand, bestowing your own peace, which evermore passes human knowing.

Shun not suff'ring, shame or loss; learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark that miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete. “It is finished!” hear him cry; learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, where they laid his breathless clay: all is solitude and gloom; who has taken him away?
