Translator:John Mason Neale, 1818-1866
Tune:O FILII ET FILIAE

203. O sons and daughters, let us sing!

Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia!

1. O sons and daughters, let us sing!
The King of heaven, the glorious King,
o'er death and hell rose triumphing.
Alleluia, alleluia!

2. That Easter morn, at break of day,
the faithful women went their way
to seek the tomb where Jesus lay.
Alleluia, alleluia!

3. An angel clad in white they see,
who sat, and spake unto the three,
"Your Lord doth go to Galilee."
Alleluia, 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, alleluia!

5. On this most holy day of days,
to God your hearts and voices raise,
in laud and jubilee and praise.
Alleluia, alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia!
