1 This joyful Eastertide,
away with sin and sorrow!
My love, the crucified,
hath 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]
