Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain LSB 487

[@j.paulm.1575]

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
'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 is giv'n
Laud and praise undying
Now the queen of seasons bright
With the day of splendor
With the royal feast of feasts
Comes its joy to render
Comes to gladden faithful hearts
Which with true affection
Welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection
For today among his own
Christ appeared bestowing
His deep peace which evermore
Passes human knowing
Neither could the gates of death
Or the tomb's dark portal
Nor the watchers nor the seal
Hold him as a mortal
Alleluia now we cry
To our King immortal
Who triumphant burst the bars
Of the Tomb's dark portal
Come you faithful raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness
God has brought his Israel
Into joy from sadness
