¶Lyrics / Text

When Christ was risen from the dead, And Thomas of the same was told, He would not credit it, he said, Though he himself should him behold, Till he his wounded hands had eyed, And thrust his fingers in his side. Which trial he did undertake, And Christ his frailty did permit, By his distrusting sure to make Such others, as might doubt of it: So we had right, and he no wrong, For by his weakness both are strong. Oh, blessèd God, how wise thou art! And how confoundest thou thy foes! Who their temptations dost convert, To work those ends which they oppose: When Satan seeks our faith to shake, The firmer he the same doth make. Thus whatsoe'er he tempts us to, His disadvantage let it be; Yea, make those very sins we do, The means to bring us nearer thee: Yet let us not to ill con-sent, Though colour'd with a good intent.
