to seek the tomb where Jesus lay.
Alleluia!

3 An angel clad in white they see,
who sat and spoke unto the three,
""Your Lord has gone to Galilee.""
Alleluia!

4 When Thomas first the tidings heard
that some had seen the risen Lord,
he doubted the disciples' word.

5 At night the apostles met in fear;
among them came their Master dear
and said, ""My peace be with you here.""
Alleluia!

6 ""My pierced side, O Thomas, see,
and look upon my hands, my feet;
not faithless but believing be.""

he saw the feet, the hands, the side.
""You are my Lord and God!"" he cried.
Alleluia!

8 How blest are they who have not seen
and yet whose faith has constant been,
for they eternal life shall win.
Alleluia!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
