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 hath Christ arisen,
arisen, arisen, arisen.
2 Death’s flood hath lost its chill,
since Jesus crossed the river;
Lord of all life, from ill
my passing soul deliver. [Refrain]
3 My flesh in hope shall rest
and for a season slumber;
till trump from east to west
shall wake the dead in number. [Refrain]
