Comfort, comfort now my people
Author: Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878); Johannes Olearius (1611-1684); John L. Bell (b. 1949) Hymnal: CH4 #274 (2005) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort now my people;
speak of peace - so says your God.
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
burdened by a heavy load.
To Jerusalem proclaim:
God shall take away your shame.
Now get ready to recover;
guilt and suffering are over.
2 Hear the herald's proclamation
in the desert far and near,
calling all to true repentance,
telling that the Lord is near.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
For your God prepare a way.
Let the valleys rise to greet him
and the hills bow down to meet him.
3 Straighten out what has been crooked,
make the roughest places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble,
live as fits God's holy reign.
Soon the glory of the Lord
shall on earth be shed abroad.
Human flesh shall surely see it,
God is ready to decree it. Topics: Christ Incarnate Promise of the Messiah; Penitence Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN 42

Come, you faithful, raise the strain
Author: St. John of Damascus (c. 675-c. 750); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Hymnal: CH4 #414 (2005) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness;
God has brought his 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 his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendour,
with the royal feast of feasts
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Christian hearts,
which, with true affection,
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the grave's dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal.
Here today amid your own
now you stand, bestowing
your own peace, which evermore
passes human knowing. Topics: Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter Scripture: Exodus 14:15-22 Languages: English Tune Title: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM
Come, you faithful, raise the strain
Christ is the world's Redeemer
Author: St. Columba (521-597); Duncan Macgregor (1854-1923) Hymnal: CH4 #450 (2005) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Christ is the world's redeemer,
the lover of the pure,
the fount of heavenly wisdom,
our trust and hope secure;
the armour of his soldiers,
the lord of earth and sky;
our health while we are living,
our life when we shall die.
2 Christ has our host surrounded
with clouds of martyrs bright,
who wave their palms in triumph
and fire us for the fight.
For Christ the cross ascended
to save a world undone,
and, suffering for the sinful,
our full redemption won.
3 Down in the realm of darkness
he lay a captive bound,
but at the hour appointed
he rose, a victor crowned;
and now, to heaven ascended,
he sits upon the throne
in glorious dominion,
his Father's and his own.
4 Glory to God the Father,
the unbegotten One;
all honour be to Jesus,
his sole-begotten Son:
and to the Holy Spirit --
the perfect Trinity.
Let all the worlds give answer.
'Amen, so let it be'. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Christian Year Ascension; Martyrs; Salvation and Redemption Scripture: Ephesians 1:19-23 Languages: English Tune Title: MOVILLE
