O Sons and Daughters, Let Us Sing Lyrics

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

O sons and daughters, let us sing

With heav'nly hosts to Christ our king

Today the grave has lost its sting

Alleluia

That Easter morn, at break of day

The faithful women went their way

To seek the tomb where Jesus lay

Alleluia

An angel clad in white they see

Who sits and speaks unto the three

Your Lord will go to Galilee

Alleluia

That night the apostles met in fear

Among them came their master dear

And said, My peace be with you here

Alleluia

When Thomas first the tidings heard

That they had seen the risen Lord

He doubted the disciples' word

Alleluia

My pierced side, O Thomas, see

And look upon my hands, my feet

Not faithless, but believing be

Alleluia

No longer Thomas then denied

He saw the feet, the hands, the side

You are my Lord and God! he cried

Alleluia

How blest are they who have not seen

And yet whose faith has constant been

For they eternal life shall win

Alleluia

On this most holy day of days

Be laud and jubilee and praise

To God your hearts and voices raise

Alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
