Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, ca. 675-749; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Exile and Return Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has 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 has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.
4 Alleluia! Now we cry
to our Lord immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb’s dark portal;
Alleluia! With the Son,
God the Father praising;
Alleluia! Yet a gain
to the Spirit raising.

When the King Shall Come Again
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Exile Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again
All his pow'r revealing,
Splendor shall announce his reign,
Life and joy and healing;
Earth no longer in decay,
Hope no more frustrated;
This is God's redemption day
Longingly awaited.
2 In the desert trees take root
Fresh from his creation;
Plants and flow'rs and sweetest fruit
Join the celebration;
Rivers spring up from the earth,
Barren lands adorning;
Valleys, this is your new birth,
Mountains, greet the morning!
3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees,
Fainting hearts, be cheerful!
God who comes for such as these
Seeks and saves the fearful;
Deaf ears, hear the silent tongues
Sing away their weeping;
Blind eyes, see the lifeless ones
Walking, running, leaping.
4 There God's highway shall be seen
Where no roaring lion,
Nothing evil or unclean
Walks the road to Zion:
Ransomed people homeward bound
All your praises voicing,
See your Lord with glory crowned,
Share in his rejoicing! Scripture: Isaiah 35 Used With Tune: GAUDEAUMUS PARITER

city of peace that brings joy evermore;
wish and fulfillment are not severed there,
nor do things prayed for come short of the prayer.

we the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing,
while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
thy blessed people eternally raise.
4 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high,
we for that country must yearn and must sigh,
seeking Jerusalem, dear native land,
through our long exile on Babylon's strand.
5 Low before God with our praises we fall,
of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
of whom, the Father, and through whom, the Son,
in whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.
