Resurrection Day! Happy Easter!
He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!
Easter Sunday Solo
Anna Thomas
This Joyful Eastertide
George R. Woodward, 1848-1934
This joyful Eastertide,
away with sin and sorrow!
My love, the crucified,
has sprung to life this morrow.
Refrain:
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, 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]
Death’s flood has lost its chill
since Jesus crossed the river.
Lover of souls, from ill
my passing soul deliver. [Refrain]
