Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Jean Tisserand, d. 1494 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #96 (1958) Lyrics: 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!
2 That Easter morn, at break of day,
The faithful women went their way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay.
Alleluia!
3 An angel clad in white they see,
Who sat, and spake unto the three,
'Your Lord goes on to Galilee.'
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!
5 When Thomas first the tidings heard,
How they had seen the risen Lord,
He doubted the disciples' word.
Alleluia!
6 'My piercèd side, O Thomas, see;
My hands, my feet, I show to thee;
Not faithless, but believing be.'
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 How blest are they who have not seen,
And yet whose faith has constant been,
For they eternal life shall win.
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! Alleluia!
