O Sons and Daughters lyrics
by The Newton Brothers
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
O sons and daughters let us sing
With heavenly hosts to Christ our King
Today the grave has lost its sting
Alleluia, alleluia!
At night the apostles met in fear;
Among them came their Lord most dear
And said, "My peace be with you here."
Alleluia, alleluia!
When Thomas first the tidings heard
How they had seen the risen Lord
He doubted the disciples' word
Alleluia, alleluia!
"My pierced side, O Thomas see
And look upon my hands, my feet;
Not faithlеss but believing be."
Allеluia, alleluia!
No longer Thomas then denied;
He saw the feet, the hands, the side
"You are my Lord!" and "God!" he cried
Alleluia, alleluia!
How blest are they who have not seen
And yet whose faith has constant been
For they eternal life shall win
Alleluia, alleluia!
