O filii et filiae is a Christian hymn celebrating Easter. It is attributed to Jean Tisserand (d. 1497), a Franciscan friar. Text As commonly found in hymnals, it comprises up to twelve stanzas; each consisting of three verses followed by the exclamation "Alleluia": 1. O filii et filiae Rex caelestis, Rex gloriae Morte surrexit hodie. Alleluia. It originally comprised but nine stanzas (those commencing with "Discipulis adstantibus", "Postquam audivit Didymus", "Beati qui non viderunt" being early additions to the hymn).
