Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus; J. M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Scripture: John 20:19 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness;
God hath brought his Israel
into joy from sadness:
loosed from Pharoah'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.

And cry, “My Lord and God!”

And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near,
And seek where You are found.

In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are,
With full and endless sight.

An Upper Room Did Our Lord Prepare
Author: Fred Pratt Green Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: John 20:21 Lyrics: An upper room did our Lord prepare
for those he loved until the end:
and his disciples still gather there.
to celebrate their Risen Friend.
A lasting gift Jesus gave his own:
to share his bread, his loving cup,
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
he by his Cross shall lift us up.
And after Supper he washed their feet,
for service, too, is sacrament.
In him our joy shall be made complete--
sent out to serve, as he was sent.
No end there is! We depart in peace.
He loves beyond our uttermost:
In every room in our Father's house
he will be there as Lord and Host.

and hail him as thy matchless King
through all eternity.

behold his hands and side,
rich wounds, yet visible above,
in beauty glorified:

can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends his burning eye
at mysteries so bright.

whose power a scepter sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease,
absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end;
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
4 Crown him the Lord of years,
the potentate of time;
creator of the rolling spheres,
ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.

his holy fast, and hungered sore;

3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Creed Used With Tune: EISENACH (LEIPZIG) Text Sources: Latin, 15th century

Gathered sad and troubled,
There you did appear.

Bid our sorrow cease;

glad when thy gracious smile we see,
blest when our faith can hold thee fast.

make all our moments calm and bright;
chase the dark night of sin away;
shed o'er the world thy holy light. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Communion; Longing Used With Tune: MARYTON Text Sources: 12th century

In Tenderness He Sought Me
Author: W. Spencer Walton Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: John 20:20 Refrain First Line: O the love that sought me Lyrics: 1 In tenderness He sought me,
Weary and sick with sin,
And on His shoulders brought me
Back to His fold again.
While angels in His presence sang
Until the courts of heaven rang.
Chorus:
O the love that sought me!
O the blood that bought me!
O the grace that brought me to the fold,
Wondrous grace that brought me to the fold!
2 He washed the bleeding sin wounds
And poured in oil and wine;
He whispered to assure me,
“I’ve found thee, thou art Mine;”
I never heard a sweeter voice;
It made my aching heart rejoice! (Chorus)
3 He pointed to the nail prints,
For me His blood was shed,
A mocking crown so thorny
Was placed upon His head:
I wondered what He saw in me
To suffer such deep agony. (Chorus)
4 I’m sitting in His presence,
The sunshine of His face,
While with adoring wonder
His blessings I retrace:
It seems as if eternal days
Are far too short to sound His praise. (Chorus)
5 So while the hours are passing,
All now is perfect rest;
I’m waiting for the morning,
The brightest and the best,
When He will call us to His side,
To be with Him, His spotless bride. (Chorus)

with grace to hear and grace to pray.

"As Surely as I Live," God Said
Author: Nicolaus Herman, c. 1480-1561; Matthias Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: John 20:21-23 Lyrics: 1 "As surely as I live," God said,
"I would not see the sinner dead.
I want him turned from error’s ways,
Repentant, living endless days."
2 And so our Lord gave this command:
"Go forth and preach in ev'ry land;
Bestow on all My pard'ning grace
Who will repent and mend their ways.
3 "All those whose sins you thus remit
I truly pardon and acquit,
And those whose sins you will retain
Condemned and guilty shall remain.
4 "What you will bind, that bound shall be;
What you will loose, that shall be free;
To My dear Church the keys are giv'n
To open, close the gates of heav'n."
5 The words which absolution give
Are His who died that we might live;
The minister whom Christ has sent
Is but His humble instrument.
6 When ministers lay on their hands,
Absolved by Christ the sinner stands;
He who by grace the Word believes
The purchase of His blood receives.
7 All praise to You, O Christ, shall be
For absolution full and free,
In which You show Your richest grace;
From false indulgence guard our race.
8 Praise God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
As was, is now, and so shall be
World without end, eternally!
