Author: Unknown; John M. Neale Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #208 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8 with alleluias Lyrics: 1 Ye sons and daughters of the King,
Whom heav'nly hosts in glory sing,
Today the grave hath lost its sting:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 On that first morning of the week,
Before the day began to break,
The Marys went their Lord to seek:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 An angel bade their sorrow flee,
For thus he spake unto the three:
"Your Lord doth go to Galilee":
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 That night the Apostles met in fear;
Amidst them came their Lord most dear
And said: "Peace be unto you here":
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 When Thomas afterwards had heard
That Jesus had fulfilled His word,
He doubted if it were the Lord:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
6 "Thomas, behold My side," saith He,
"My hands, My feet, My body, see;
"And doubt not, but believe in Me":
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
7 No longer Thomas then denied;
He saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"Thou art my Lord and God," he cried:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
8 Blessèd are they that have not seen
And yet whose faith hath constant been,
In life eternal they shall reign:
Alleluia! 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! Alleluia!
10 And we with holy Church unite,
As evermore is just and right,
In glory to the King of light:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
