Tune: St Timothy
(\'O Holy Ghost, they people bless\')
John 20 v.19-29
********
Jesus risen, in room appeared
To disciples, they feared
But peace He gave, shalom, wholeness
With His presence did bless
Thomas not there then at that time
When they saw Christ sublime
He wanting proof and evidence
To trust what he could sense
Then Jesus did appear again
There were eleven men
Said to Thomas, \'Touch me and see
For I not a ghost be\'
See my hands wounded and my side
When I was pierced, I died
But rose again, see for yourself
Will be to your soul\'s health
Be not doubting, nor be faithless
Stay not in fear, distress
But be believing, it is I
Risen, no more to die
\'My Lord and my God\', Thomas said
Christ risen from the dead
He did reply, me you have seen
I in person have been
Yet blessed they that have seen Christ not
Happy now is their lot
They trust in Him, His salvation
Open to each nation
