Let us now our voices raise

Author: Joseph the Hymnographer, 9th cent.; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #237 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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 heaven's bright portal, when they laid the mortal down for the life immortal. 2. Never flinched they from the flame, from the torture 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, Christians all: press through toil and sorrow; turn from fear, and heed the call to a glorious morrow! Who will venture on the strife; who will first begin it? Who will grasp the land of Life? Christians, up and win it! Topics: Holy Days and Various Occasions Martyrs Languages: English Tune Title: GAUDEAMUS PARITER

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 That Thy peace which evermore Passeth human knowing. Topics: Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: GAUDEAMUS PARITER

Brothers, joining hand to hand, In one bond united, Pressing onward to that land Where all wrongs are righted: Let your words and actions be Worthy your vocation; Chosen of the Lord, and free, Heirs of Christ’s salvation. 2. Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life, Who hath gone before you Through the turmoil and the strife, Holds His banner o’er you; All who see the sacred sign Press towards Heav’ns portal, Fired by hope that is divine, Love that is immortal. 3. They who follow fear no foe, Care not who assail them; Where the Master leads, they go, He will never fail them; Courage, brothers! we are one, In the love that sought us; Soon the warfare shall be done, Through the grace He brought us.
