| 1 | Come ye faithful, raise the strain |
2 | 'Tis the Spring of souls to-day; | |||
| Of triumphant gladness; |
Christ hath burst His prison, | |||||
| God hath brought His Israel |
And from three days sleep in death | |||||
| Into joy from sadness; |
As a sun hath risen; | |||||
| Loosed from Pharaohs bitter yoke |
All the winter of our sins, | |||||
| Jacobs sons and daughters; |
Long and dark is flying | |||||
| Led them with unmoistend foot |
From His light, to Whom we give | |||||
| Through the Red Sea waters. | Laud and praise undying. | |||||
| 3 | Now the Queen of seasons bright | |
| With the Day of splendour, | ||
| 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. Amen. | ||
