Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church #136 (1957) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness;
God hath brought His people forth
Into joy from sadness.
Now rejoice, Jerusalem,
And with true affection
Welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
2 'T is 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.
Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Resurrection and Ascension Tune Title: ST. KEVIN
Come, Ye Faithful
