Lyrics

This joyful Eastertide, away with sin and sorrow!
My love, the crucified, hath sprung to life this morrow.

  Had Christ, who once was slain, ne'er burst his threeday prison,
  our faith had been in vain. But now hath Christ arisen,
  arisen, arisen, arisen.

My flesh in hope shall rest and for a season slumber
till trumpets east to west shall wake the dead in number.

  Had Christ, who once was slain, ne'er burst his threeday prison,
  our faith had been in vain. But now hath Christ arisen,
  arisen, arisen, arisen.

Death's flood hath lost its chill since Jesus crossed the river.
Lover of souls, from ill my passing soul deliver.

  Had Christ, who once was slain, ne'er burst his threeday prison,
  our faith had been in vain. But now hath Christ arisen,
  arisen, arisen, arisen.
