The King of Heaven the glorious King
Over death today rose triumphing

The faithful women went their way
To seek the tomb where Jesus lay

An angel clad in white they see
Who sat and spake unto the three
Your Lord doth go to Galilee

That night th’apostles met in fear
Amidst them came their Lord most dear
And said My peace be on all here

When Thomas first the tidings heard
How they had seen the risen Lord

My piercèd side O Thomas see
My hands My feet I show to thee
Not faithless but believing be

No longer Thomas then denied
He saw the feet the hands the side
Thou art my Lord and God he cried

How blessed are they who have not seen
And yet whose faith has constant been
For they eternal life shall win

On this most holy day of days
Our hearts and voices Lord we raise
To Thee in jubilee and praise
