We, poor exiles, Join not yet your melody. 3 Alleluia! strains of gladness Suit not souls with anguish torn: Alleluia! sounds of sadness Best become our state forlorn: Our offences We with bitter tears must mourn. 4 But our earnest supplication Holy God, we raise to Thee: Visit us with Thy salvation, Make us all Thy joys to see!

Now the gate of death is riven. 4 Jesus comes in joy and sorrow, Shares alike our hopes and fears; Jesus comes, whate'er befalls us, Cheers our hearts and dries our tears; Alleluia! Alleluia! Cheering e'en our failing years. 5 Jesus comes on clouds triumphant, When the heavens shall pass away; Jesus comes again in glory; Let us then our homage pay, Alleluia! ever singing, Till the dawn of endless day.

Sing, ye faithful, sing with gladness!

Author: Rev. J. Ellerton Meter: 8.7 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing, ye faithful, sing with gladness! Wake your noblest, sweetest strain! With the praises of your Saviour Let His house resound again! Him let all your music honor, And your songs exalt His reign! 2 Sing how He come forth from heaven, Bowed Himself to Bethlehem's cave, Stooped to wear the servant's vesture, Bore the pain, the cross, the grave, Passed within the gates of darkness, Thence His banished ones to save! 3 So He tasted death for all men, He, of all mankind the Head, Sinless One among the sinful, Prince of life among the dead; So He wrought the full redemption, And the captor captive led. 4 Now on high, yet ever with us, From His Father's throne, the Son Rules and guides the world He ransomed, Till the appointed work be done, Till He see, renewed and perfect, All things gathered into one. 5 Day of promised restitution! Fruit of all His sorrows past! When the crown of His dominion He before the throne shall cast, And throughout the wide creation God be "all in all" at last. Amen.
