('At the Lamb's high feast we sing')

John 20 v.24-31

********

Jesus, arisen appears

To His disciples endears

Of His presence to them sure

To build faith for evermore

Thomas, he not there at first

Showing, when death's gate was burst

And Jesus had visited

Them, and 'Peace to you' had said

 

Jesus then to Thomas said

'Tis me, risen from the dead

Reach here your finger, and see

My hands, scars of nails there be

And reach here your hand, and feel

My side, I the Lord do heal

Though my heart was pierced for you

Now I make all things anew

 

Be not faithless, but believe

E'en if by sight you conceive

That it is me, do not doubt

I sin and death put to rout

Thomas says it is you then

My Lord and my God risen

So he came to faith again

Saw the Saviour of all men

 

Jesus said, Thomas, because

You have seen me, dead once was

I, but now resurrected

Victorious from the dead

Now you see me you believe

But blessed they, by faith receive

The truth that I live, though they

Have not seen me, I the Way

 

The Way to the Father sure

Promise of life evermore

Enough John wrote, so that we

Might believe that Jesus be

Christ, Anointed, Promised One

He of God His only Son

And that believing we might

Have life through His name, and light
