The Hymnal ‎#167

167. 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 today 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 How blest are they who have not seen,
And yet whose faith hath constant been;
For they eternal life shall win.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

5 On this most holy day of days,
Our hearts and voices, Lord, we raise
To Thee, in jubilee and praise.
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Amen.
