Text: | This Joyful Eastertide |

Tune: | VRUECHTEN |
This joyful Eastertide,
Away with sin and sorrow!
My love, the Crucified,
Has sprung to life this morrow.
Had Christ, who once was slain,
Not burst his three-day prison,
Our faith had been in vain.
But now has Christ arisen, arisen, arisen;
But now has Christ arisen!
