away with sin and sorrow;
my love, the crucified,
has sprung to life this morrow:

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]

since Jesus crossed the river.
Lover of souls, from ill
my passing soul deliver: [Refrain] Topics: Celebration of Faith; Hope; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Resurrection Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 Languages: English Tune Title: VRUECHTEN
