Author: William Bright Hymnal: Hymns and Devotions for Daily Worship #137 (2024) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. How oft, O Lord, your face has shone
On doubting souls whose wills were true!
The Christ of Peter and of John,
You are the Christ of Thomas, too.
2. He loved you well, and calmly said
"Come, let us go, and die with him";
Yet when your glorious news was spread,
Midst all its light his eyes were dim.
3. His brethren’s word he would not take,
But craved to touch those hands of yours;
The damaged reed you did not break;
He saw, and hailed his holy Lord.
4. He saw thee ris’n; at once he rose
To full belief’s unclouded height;
And still through his confession flows
To Christian souls your life and light.
5. O Savior, make your presence known
To all who doubt your Word as truth,
And teach them in that Word alone
To find the key that sets them loose.
6. And we who know how true you are,
And you as God and Lord adore,
Give us, we pray, a loyal heart,
To trust and love you more and more. Topics: Resurrection Scripture: John 20:24-29 Languages: English Tune Title: HOLLAND
