O sons and daughters
let us sing!
The King of Heaven
the glorious King
Over death today rose triumphing.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
That Easter morn
at break of day
The faithful women went their way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay.
An angel clad in white they see
Who sat
and spake unto the three
Your Lord doth go to Galilee.
That night th’apostles met in fear;
Amidst them came their Lord most dear
And said
My peace be on all here.
When Thomas first the tidings heard
How they had seen the risen Lord
He doubted the disciples’ word.
My piercèd side
O Thomas
see;
My hands
My feet
I show to thee;
Not faithless but believing be.
No longer Thomas then denied;
He saw the feet
the hands
the side;
Thou art my Lord and God
he cried.
How blessed are they who have not seen
And yet whose faith has constant been;
For they eternal life shall win.
On this most holy day of days
Our hearts and voices
Lord
we raise
To Thee
in jubilee and praise.
