Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: St. John of Damascus;
Translator: J. M. Neale
Tune: ST. KEVIN (Sullivan)
Come, you faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness!
Of triumphant gladness!
God has brought His Israel
Into joy from sadness.
Into joy from sadness.
Loosed from Pharoah’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters,
Jacob’s sons and daughters,
Led them with unmoistened foot
Through the Red Sea waters.
Through the Red Sea waters.
‘Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst His prison,
Christ has burst His prison,
And from three days’ sleep in death
As a sun has risen;
As a sun has risen;
All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying
Long and dark, is flying
From His light, to whom is giv’n
Laud and praise undying.
Laud and praise undying.
Now the queen of seasons, bright
With the day of splendor,
With the day of splendor,
With the royal feast of feasts,
Comes its joy to render;
Comes its joy to render;
Comes to gladden faithful hearts
Which with true affection
Which with true affection
Welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus’ resurrection!
Jesus’ resurrection!
For today among His own
Christ appeared, bestowing
Christ appeared, bestowing
His deep peace, which evermore
Passes human knowing.
Passes human knowing.
Neither could the gates of death
Nor the tomb’s dark portal
Nor the tomb’s dark portal
Nor the watchers nor the seal
Hold Him as a mortal.
Hold Him as a mortal.
Alleluia! Now we cry
To our King immortal,
To our King immortal,
Who, triumphant, burst the bars
Of the tomb’s dark portal.
Of the tomb’s dark portal.
Come, you faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness!
Of triumphant gladness!
God has brought His Israel
Into joy from sadness!
Into joy from sadness!
