Laudis Corona ‎#55

55. O Filii et Filiae

1. Ye sons and daughters of the Lord,
The King of heav'n,
The King adored,
From death this day Himself restored.
Alleluia.

Chorus:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

2 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
All in the early morning gray,
Went holy women on their way,
To see the tomb where Jesus lay.
Alleluia!

3 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Of spices pure a precious store
In their pure hands these women bore,
To anoint the sacred Body o'er.
Alleluia!

4 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Then straightway one in white they see,
Who saith, "Ye seek the Lord; but He
Is risen, and gone to Galilee."
Alleluia!

5 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Now let us praise the Lord most high;
And strive His name to magnify,
On this great day, through earth and sky.
Alleluia!
