210. Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain

1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness:
God has brought His people forth
Into joy from sadness.
Now rejoice, Jerusalem
And with ture affection
Welcome with unceasing praise
Jesus' resurrection.

2 'Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ hath burst His prison,
From the frost and gloom of death
Light and live have risen;
All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying
From His light to whom we give
Thanks and praise undying.

3 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.
