Tune: St Albinus
('Jesus lives! Thy terrors now....')
John 20 v.24-29 parts
*********
Jesus to disciples shown
But first time not to Thomas known
Eight days later shows again
Thomas among disciples then
Alleluia!
Jesus said, peace be to you
To Thomas said, Reach here and view
Place finger in my hands, see
Too my side, where I wounded be
Alleluia!
Be not faithless but believe
Thomas said, was with no deceive
My Lord and my God you are
I worship you near, not afar
Alleluia!
Jesus said to Thomas, You
Have seen me, so you believe true
Blessed are they that have seen not
Me, but believe, favoured their lot
Alleluia!

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 7.8.7.8. format with Alleluias. Spare a thought that if it was a disciple other than Thomas, it may have been 'Doubting Peter' or 'Doubting John', etc.

Thanks N. I doubt if I will put my 'diversionary' poems on the back burner for ever - tales of KP, Fido, swooning, etc!
Nice one Orchi !!
Thanks SC.
The art of expressing, one’s true feeling, is well endowed in your words, here and always.
Thanks Suresh.
Great piece Orchi, I used to be a doubting Thomas,but I eventually learned the truth,
Thanks Thomas, erm, Blue!

Had that thrust down our throats yesterday in a service that only confirmed why my faith in organised religion has left me.

Oh, you had that theme. It would have been our theme on a two year rota, if it was the 'other' year.
