Author: Janet Wootton, 1952-; Jean Tisserand, d. 1494 Hymnal: Together in Song #363 (1999) Lyrics: 1 My daughters and my sons hear tell -
The king of heaven, the glorious king
is risen today from death and hell.
Alleluia, alleluia.
2 Now Mary and Salome come
to show their last love for their friend,
and fit his body for the tomb.
Alleluia, alleluia.
3 Amazed, they hear the angel's word,
whose shining form confronts their fear,
'In Galilee you'll find your Lord!'
Alleluia, alleluia.
4 His followers huddle in despair,
when suddenly he's in the room
saying, 'My peace is yours to share,'
Alleluia, alleluia.
5 But Thomas, lonely in his grief,
hears only later, 'He is risen',
and simply cannot find belief.
Alleluia, alleluia.
6 'Look, Thomas, see my wounded side.
Reach out, and touch my feet and hands,
then dare believe that I'm alive.'
Alleluia, alleluia.
7 And now he knows it is the Lord.
He sees the hands, the feet, the side.
He cries for joy 'You are my God!'
Alleluia, alleluia.
8 How happy those who come to faith,
although they have not seen the Lord
for they shall have eternal life -
Alleluia, alleluia. Topics: Doubt; Easter; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Resurrection; Saints Days and Holy Days St Mary Magdalene; Saints Days and Holy Days St Thomas Scripture: John 20:19-23 Languages: English Tune Title: O FILII ET FILIAE
