This joyful Eastertide 
This joyful Eastertide, away with care and sorrow! My Love, the Crucified, hath 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 is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen, arisen. 
Death's flood hath lost its chill, since Jesus crossed the river: Lover of souls, from ill my passing soul deliver, 
Refrain: Had Christ, that once was slain, ne'er burst his three-day prison, our faith had been in vain; but now is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen, arisen. 
My flesh in hope shall rest, and for a season slumber, till trump from east to west shall wake the dead in number. 
Refrain: Had Christ, that once was slain, ne'er burst his three-day prison, our faith had been in vain; but now is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen, arisen.
