Full Lyrics
VERSE 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 threeday prison,
Our faith had been in vain:
But now hath Christ arisen,
arisen, arisen, arisen.
VERSE 2
My flesh in hope shall rest,
And for a season slumber:
Till trump from east to west
Shall wake the dead in number.
VERSE 3
Death's flood hath lost his chill,
Since Jesus cross'd the river:
Lovers of souls, from ill
My passing soul deliver.
