my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!

and bids our sorrows cease;

'tis life, and health, and peace.

he sets the prisoner free;

the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.

your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy!

assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad

Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus; J. M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Scripture: Luke 24:36 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness;
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
thine own peace which evermore
passeth human knowing.

Celebrate this day of days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder:

In the desert all-surrounding,
see, a spreading tree has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding
bring a taste of love unknown.
2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits
from the caverns of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning.
See what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection.
Not a servant, but a friend,
Jesus is our strong companion.
Joy and peace shall never end.
3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven
nevermore shall be the same.
Break the bread of new creation
where the world is still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus:
"Christ is risen! Get you gone!"
God the first and last is with us.
