Tune: Vreuchten
(\'This joyful Eastertide\')
**********
Easter season, new life
Christ victorious o\'er strife
Has gained the victory
O\'er sin, death, eternally
Chorus
Let all creation praise
To Him joyful songs upraise
Christ risen now for sure
Lives now, and He dies no more
Dies no more, Dies no more
Dies no-o-o-o-o more!
You daffodils do spring
Earth with signs of new life ring
You sheep, your lambs do tend
As Christ His sheep does defend - Chorus
You water brooks flow free
Though wintry did flow icily
Now warmth of land and sea
Comes again Spring\'s prosperity - Chorus
Showers, you water land
And sun seen, all from God\'s hand
In seasons He faithful
He Lord of heaven, earth, all - Chorus
Trees blossom, and leaves seen
Though some remain evergreen
We live and grow in you
Who bring us eternal life new - Chorus
Spirit of God within
Forgive and cleanse us from sin
Your works all here arrayed
We see your glories displayed - Chorus
