Representative Text

1 Every flow­er that blos­soms fresh from mol­dy earth,
Sings of re­sur­rect­ion, whis­pers of new birth;
Every plant that, dy­ing, seems to meet de­cay,
Only waits with pa­tience for an Eas­ter day.

2 Seeds of pro­mise scat­tered ov­er all the land
Spring of life and beau­ty, guid­ed by God`s hand;
And our souls, more pre­cious than all earth be­side
Surely shall awak­en at some East­er-tide.

3 Then let hearts and voices East­er ca­rols sing—
Then let al­le­lu­ias through the glad earth ring;
For our Christ has ris­en, and be­yond the grave,
Over death and sor­row He is strong to save.

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 >
