THIS JOYFUL EASTER TIDE

This joyful Easter tide,\nAway from sin and sorrow,\nHad Christ, that once was slain,\nNe’er burst his three day prison\nOur faith hath been in vain:\nBut now hath Christ arisen, arisen, arisen, arisen.\n2. My flesh in hope shall rest,\nAnd for a season slumber;\nTill trump from east to west\nShall wake the dead in slumber.\n3. Death’s flood hath lost his chill,\nSince Jesus crossed the river:\nLover of souls, from ill\nMy passing soul deliver.
