1 This joyful Eastertide,
Away with sin and sorrow!
My Love, the Crucified,
Has 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 is Christ arisen,
arisen, arisen, arisen.

2 Death’s flood has lost its chill,
Since Jesus crossed the river:
Lord of all life, from ill
My passing life 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]
