1 This joyful Eastertide,
away with sin and sorrow.
My Love, the Crucified,
has sprung to life this morrow:
Refrain:
Had Christ, that once was slain,
ne’er burst His three-day prison,
our faith had been in vain:
but now has Christ arisen,
arisen, arisen, arisen!
2 My flesh in hope shall rest,
and for a season slumber:
till trump from east to west
shall wake the dead in number: [Refrain]
3 Death’s flood hath lost its chill
since Jesus crossed the river:
Lover of souls, from ill
my passing soul deliver: [Refrain]
