Song Lyrics
[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\xe2\x80\x99s 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! [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\xe2\x80\x99s 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!
