Text: | This Joyful Eastertide |
Author: | George R. Woodward |
Tune: | VRUECHTEN |
This joyful Easter-tide,
away with sin and sorrow!
My love, the Crucified,
has sprung to life this morrow.
Refrain:
Had Christ, who once was slain,
not burst his three days' prison,
Our faith had been in vain.
But now has Christ arisen,
arisen, arisen:
But now has Christ arisen!
