Listen to the whole glorious thing.
Lyrics:
1.This joyful Eastertide
away with sin 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 hath Christ arisen,
arisen, arisen;
but now has Christ 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. [3. Death’s flood has lost its chill
since Jesus crossed the river.
Lover of souls, from ill
my passing soul deliver.
