Ye sons and daughters of the King, Whom heavenly hosts in glory sing, Today the grave hath lost its sting: Alleluia! 2. On that first morning of the week, Before the day began to break, The Marys went their Lord to seek: Alleluia! 3. An angel bade their sorrow flee, For thus he spake unto the three: "Your Lord is gone to Galilee": Alleluia! 4. That night the Apostles met in fear, Amidst them came their Lord most dear And said: "Peace be unto you here": Alleluia! 5. When Thomas afterwards had heard That Jesus had fulfilled His word, He doubted if it were the Lord: Alleluia! 6. "Thomas, behold My side," saith He, "My hands, My feet, My body, see; "And doubt not, but believe in Me": 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. Blessed are they that have not seen And yet whose faith hath constant been, In Iife eternal they shall reign: Alleluia! 9. On this most holy day of days To God your hearts and voices raise In laud and jubilee and praise: Alleluia! 10. And we with holy Church unite, As evermore is just and right, In glory to the King of light: Alleluia!
