New Hymn Text 

for

Doubting Thomas Sunday

Art by Stas Blinov

Didymus

(May be sung to the Tune: Noel Nouvelet

 11 10 10 11 – “Now the Green Blade Rises”)

1. Thomas doubted Jesus on that frightful night,

fleeing from his likeness in a fearful flight.

Doubt comes again when unnerved we descend

into the dark night that never seems to end.

2. Twin of the dear Savior he had every right

to hide from his neighbor on that fateful night.

Christ did appear midst doubt and great fear.

Thomas went in hiding although grace was near.

3. Even though he doubted Thomas braved the dark

that revealed Messiah and the stigmata scars.

Christ comes again who with the dead has been

sealing and revealing mercy without end.

4. We are twins of Jesus and will never part

from God’s loving presence, from the divine heart.

Raised to new life the living God now saves

all of the creation from the dusty grave.
