1 This joyful Eastertide,
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-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 has lost its chill
since Jesus crossed the river.
Lover of souls, from ill
my passing soul deliver. [Refrain]

Text Information:
The verbal and musical elements of this hymn mesh so well because the words were written to fit this Dutch tune (whose name means “fruits”). The news of Christ’s resurrection is joyfully conveyed by the ever-higher phrases and final cascade of notes at the end of the refrain.
