1 This joyful Eastertide,
Away with sin and sorrow.
My Love, the Crucified,
Hath 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 hath Christ 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 his chill,
Since Jesus crossed the river:
Lover of souls, from ill
My passing soul deliver: [Refrain]
