Whom heavenly hosts in glory That Jesus had fulfilled his word, sing, To-day the grave hath lost its sting. Alleluia! On that first morning of the week, Both Mary, as it came to pass, "Your Lord is gone to Galilee.' When John the apostle heard the fame, He to the tomb with Peter came: But in the way outran the same. That night the apostles met in fear: He doubted if it were the Lord. 'Thomas, behold my side,' saith he; 'My hands, my feet, my body see; And doubt not, but believe in me.' No longer Thomas then denied: He saw the hands, the fect, the side; Thou art my Lord and God,' he cried. Blessed are they that have not seen, And yet whose faith hath constant been: In life eternal they shall reign. On this most holy day of days, Be laud and jubilee and praise: To God both hearts and voices raise. Amidst them came their Lord And we with holy Church unite, As is both meet and just and right, most dear, And said, Peace be unto all In glory to the King of light. here.' Alleluia!
