1 This joyful Eastertide,
away with sin and sadness!
Our Lord, the crucified,
has filled our hearts with gladness.

Refrain:
Had Christ, who once was slain,
not burst his three-day prison,
our faith would be in vain.
But now has Christ arisen,
arisen, arisen,
but now has Christ arisen!

2 My being shall rejoice secure
within God's keeping,
until the trumpet voice shall wake us
from our sleeping. [Refrain]

3 Death's waters lost their chill
when Jesus crossed the river.
His love shall reach me still;
his mercy is forever. [Refrain]
