Didymus 

Sundays of Easter 

Tune: Noel Nouvelet

Meter: 11.10.10.11

 

                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 neighbors on that fateful night.

                Christ did appear midst doubt and awesome fear.

                Thomas went in hiding although grace was near.

 

                3. Even though he doubted Thomas braved the dark

                that revealed Messiah and stigmata scars.

                Christ comes again who with the dead had been

                sealing and revealing mercy without end.

 

                4. We are twins of Jesus and will never part

                from God’s own presence, from God’s loving heart.

                Raised to new life the living God now saves

                all of the creation from the dusty grave.
