Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem
Tune: Neander  
Metre: 87 87 87  

 

Come, ye faithful, raise the anthem,

Cleave the skies with shouts of praise;

Sing to Him who found the ransom,

Ancient of eternal days,

God eternal, Word incarnate,

Whom the heaven of heaven obeys.

 

Ere he raised the lofty mountains,

Formed the sea, or built the sky,

Love external, free, and boundless,

Forced the Lord of life to die,

Lifted up the Prince of princes

On the throne of Calvary.

 

Now on those eternal mountains

Stands the sapphire throne, all bright,

With the ceaseless alleluias

Which they raise, the sons of light;

Sion’s people tell His praises,

Victor after hard-won fight.

 

Laud and honour to the Father,

Laud and honour to the Son,

Laud and honour to the Spirit,

Ever Three and ever One,

One in love, and One in splendour,

While unending ages run.
