away with care 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 is 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 hath lost its chill,
since Jesus crossed the river:
Lover of souls, from ill
my passing soul deliver: [Refrain] Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:12-20 Languages: English Tune Title: VRUECHTEN
