1 Deck the al­tar with blos­soms fair,
Pillar and chan­cel with gar­lands rare.
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!
All ye lil­ies with in­cense rare,
Flinging your trea­sures on the air.
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

2 All ye peo­ple in chor­us sing,
Christ our Lord is ris’n a king.
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!
All ye flow­ers that spring from earth,
And ye bells that chime new birth.
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

3 All ye an­gels in glo­ry on high,
As glad an­thems fill the sky.
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!
All who­ev­er in Christ’s grave lay
Shall rise with Him on East­er Day.
Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia! Al­le­lu­ia!

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 >
