381. This joyful Eastertide

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 has Christ arisen,
arisen, arisen, arisen.

2 My flesh in hope shall rest,
and for a season slumber,
till trump from east and west
shall wake the dead in number: [Refrain]

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