Listen to King's College Choir, free, on their website: http://bit.ly/kingslisten The choir of King's College, Cambridge sing the rousing Easter hymn This Joyful Eastertide with words by George R Woodford. The tune is a Dutch melody from David's Psalmen, Amsterdam, 1685, arranged Charles Wood. This joyful Easter-tide, Away with care and sorrow! My Love, the Crucified, Hath sprung to life this morrow. Had Christ, that once was slain, Neer burst His three day prison, Our faith had been in vain; But now hath 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. Had Christ, that once was slain, Neer burst His three day prison, Our faith had been in vain; But now hath Christ arisen, Arisen, arisen, arisen! Deaths flood hath lost his chill, Since Jesus crossed the river: Lover of souls, from ill My passing soul deliver. Had Christ, that once was slain, Neer burst His three day prison, Our faith had been in vain; But now hath Christ arisen, Arisen, arisen, arisen!
