OFFICE HYMN

1                    This joyful Eastertide,                                 Had Christ, that once was slain,

Away with sin and sorrow,                          ne’er burst his three-day prison,

My love, the Crucified,                                  our faith had been in vain:

Hath sprung to life this morrow:                but now hath Christ arisen.

 

2                    My flesh in hope shall rest,             3          Death’s flood hath lost his chill,

And for a season slumber:                          Since Jesus crossed the river:

Till trump from east to west                       Lover of souls, from ill

Shall wake the dead in number.                          My passing soul deliver:

 

Sit
