Come, ye faithful by Edward Vine Hall — Lyrics

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 of God, the Word incarnate, Whom the heaven of heaven obeys. Ere He raised the lofty[mighty] mountains, Formed the seas, or built the sky, Love eternal, free, and boundless, Moved the Lord of life to die, Foreordained the Prince of princes For the throne of Calvary. There, for us and our redemption, See Him all his lifeblood pour! There He wins our full salvation, Dies that we may die no more; Then, arising, lives for ever, Reigning where He was before.

About Come, ye faithful

This stirring SATB anthem bursts forth with a triumphant energy, immediately inviting the choir to raise an anthem. The vocal lines weave together, building a rich and powerful texture that mirrors the exultant text. The English lyrics celebrate the resurrection and eternal reign of Christ, proclaiming His sacrifice and victory over death. The music directly reflects this message of hope and praise, with soaring melodies and robust harmonies that compel the singers to convey profound reverence and joy. It is a well-crafted anthem suitable for services where a strong declaration of faith is desired.
