1 ’Twas on this Easter morning,
The blessèd Savior rose,
O’er death triumphant came He,
A conqueror o’er His foes.

Refrain:
Ring out, ring out, sweet bells;
Ring, sweet Easter bells;
Ring out, ring out, sweet bells;
Ring, sweet Easter bells.

2 Let every heart be joyful
And every tongue proclaim
This Easter glad hosanna,
"All hail to Jesus’ name." [Refrain]

3 Let not a voice be silent
At such a festal time;
Yea, rather let us gladly
Ring out our merry chime. [Refrain]

In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries. Go to person page >
