Verse 1
This joyful Eastertide, 
away with sin and sorrow! 
My Love, the Crucified, 
has sprung to life this morrow: 
 
Chorus
Had Christ, who once was slain, 
not burst His three-day prison, 
our faith had been in vain; 
but now has Christ arisen, 
arisen, arisen; 
but now has Christ arisen! 
 
Verse 2
Death’s flood has lost its chill 
since Jesus crossed the river; 
Lover of souls, from ill 
my passing soul deliver: 
 
Chorus
Had Christ, who once was slain, 
not burst His three-day prison, 
our faith had been in vain; 
but now has Christ arisen, 
arisen, arisen; 
but now has Christ arisen! 
 
Verse 3
My flesh in hope shall rest 
and for a season slumber 
till trump from east to west 
shall wake the dead in number 
 
Chorus
Had Christ, who once was slain, 
not burst His three-day prison, 
our faith had been in vain; 
but now has Christ arisen, 
arisen, arisen; 
but now has Christ arisen!
