Ye sons and daughters of the King,
The King of heaven the angels say,
Hath raised your buried Lord today.
Alleluia.
And now the blessed Marys three,
Arriving early at the tomb,
Bring forth their treasure of perfume.
Alleluia.
A white robed angel find the there,
'Your Lord is risen,' they hear him say,
"Behold the place where Jesus lay."
Alleluia!
'Tis Magadalene the wonder tells,
The two disciples run before,
And view with joy the open door.
Alleluia!
How blest are they who have not seen,
Who seeing not, believed, adored,
Their life is ever with the Lord.
Alleluia! Languages: English Tune Title: O FILII ET FILIAE
