Author: J. M. Neale; J. Tisserand Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #670 (1920) First Line: O sons and daughters let us sing! Lyrics: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
1 O sons and daughters let us sing!
The King of heaven, the glorious King,
O'er death today rose triumphing.
Alleluia!
2 That Easter morn, at break of day
The faithful women went their way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay.
Alleluia!
3 An angel clad in white they see,
Who sat, and spake unto the three,
"Your Lord doth go to Galilee."
Alleluia!
4 That night the apostles met in fear;
Amidst them came their Lord most dear,
And said, "My peace be on all here."
Alleluia!
5 When Thomas first the tidings heard,
How they had seen the risen Lord,
He doubted the disciples' word.
Alleluia!
6 "My pierced hands, O Thomas, see;
My hands, My feet, I show to thee;
Not faithless, but believing be."
Alleluia!
7 No longer Thomas then denied,
He saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"Thou art my Lord and God," he cried,
Alleluia!
8 How blest are they who have not seen,
And yet whose faith has constant been,
For they eternal life shall win.
Alleluia!
9 On this most holy day of days,
To God your hearts and voices raise,
In laud, and jubilee, and praise.
Alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
