who sat, and spake unto the three,
'Your Lord doth go to Galilee.'

amidst them came their Lord most dear,
and said, 'My peace be on all here.'

my hands, my feet I show to thee;
Not faithless, but believing be.'

7 No longer Thomas then denied;
he saw the feet, the hands, the side;
'thou art my Lord and God,' he cried.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
8 How blest are they who have not seen,
and yet whose faith hath constant been:
for they eternal life shall win.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
9 On this most holy day of days,
to God your hearts and voices raise
in laud, and jubilee, and praise,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
