Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: St. John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 14:29 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness;
God hath 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 hath risen.
Now rejoice, Jerusalem,
And with true affection
Welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus’ resurrection!

At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 14:21-30 Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
praise to our victorious King,
who has washed us in the tide
flowing from his wounded side.
Praise we Christ, whose love divine
gives his sacred blood for wine,
gives his body for the feast–
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
2 Where the paschal blood is poured
death's dread angel sheathes the sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
paschal victim, paschal bread;
with sincerity and love
eat we manna from above.
3 Mighty victim from the sky,
hell's fierce powers beneath you lie;
you have conquered in the fight,
you have brought us life and light.
Now no more can death appall,
now no more the grave enthrall;
you have opened paradise,
and your saints in you shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
this alone can sin destroy!
From sin's power, Lord, set us free,
newborn souls in you to be.
Father, who the crown shall give;
Savior, by whose death we live;
Spirit, guide through all our days:
Three in One, your name we praise. Topics: Church Year Easter/Season of Easter; Church Year Christ the King; Powers of Darkness; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Elements of Worship Lord's Supper Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: Latin hymn, 17th c.

Author: St. John of Damascus; J. M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 516 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 14:22 Refrain First Line: Alleluia! Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
from this world to the sky,
our Christ hath brought us over
with hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light;
and, listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own "All hail!" and, hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful,
let earth her song begin;
let the round world keep triumph,
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes of gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord hath risen,
our joy that hath no end.

Out of Deep, Unordered Water
Author: Fred Kaan Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 14:22 Lyrics: 1 Out of deep, unordered water
God created light and land,
World of bird and beast and,later,
In God's image, woman, man.
There is water in the river
Bringing life to tree and plant.
Let creation praise its giver:
There is water in the font.
2 Water on the human forehead,
Birthmark of the love of God
Is the sign of death and rising;
Through the seas there runs a road.
There is water in the river
Bringing life to tree and plant.
Let creation praise its giver:
There is water in the font.
3 Standing round the font reminds us
Of the Hebrews' climb ashore.
Life is hallowed by the knowledge:
God has been this way before.
There is water in the river
Bringing life to tree and plant.
Let creation praise its giver:
There is water in the font.
