Author: Jean Tisserand; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #212 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8 with alleluia Topics: Christian Year-Eastertide Lyrics: 1 O sons and daughters of the King,
whom heavenly hosts in glory sing,
today the grave has lost its sting!
Alleluia, 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, alleluia!
3 An angel clad in white they see,
who sits and speaks unto the three,
"Your Lord has gone to Galilee."
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
4 That night apostles met in fear;
among them came their Master dear
and said, "My peace be with you here."
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
5 On this most holy day of days
be laud and jubilee and praise:
to God your hearts and voices raise.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
