Lyrics:
This joyful Eastertide, Away with sin and sorrow! My Love, the crucified, Hath Sprung to life this morrow. Had Christ, that once was slain, now burst his three-day prison, Our faith had been in vain: But now hath Christ arisen. My flesh in hope shall rest, And for a season slumber: Till trump from east to west Shall wake the dead in number. Death’s flood hath lost his chill, Since Jesus crossed the river: Lover of souls, from ill My passing soul deliver.
