All Thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of Thy blood; Opened is the gate of heaven; Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail, enthroned in glory, There forever to abide! All the heavenly hosts adore Thee, Seated at thy Father's side: There for sinners Thou art pleading, There Thou dost our place prepare, Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive; Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give.

Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain

Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Ascension Lyrics: 1. Come, ye faithful, raise the strain of triumphant gladness; God hath brought forth 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 the twelve thou didst stand, bestowing that thy peace which evermore passeth human knowing. 5. "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. Scripture: Exodus 15 Used With Tune: ST. KEVIN
