1 On Easter morn Christ rose again,
Rejoice, rejoice, good Christian men;
Alleluia, Alleluia!
But two days since He deigned to die,
That we no more in death may lie.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

2 The holy women to the tomb
With gifts of precious ointment come;
Alleluia, Alleluia!
They seek within the guarded grave
The Lord, who died mankind to save.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

3 An angel clad in white appears,
Who brings glad tidings to their ears;
Alleluia, Alleluia!
"Ye trembling daughters, do not fear;
Ye seek the Christ—He is not here."
Alleluia, Alleluia!

4 Go, bid the glad disciples see
Their risen Lord in Galilee;
Alleluia, Alleluia!
Of Simon Peter, next, I ween,
Then of th’eleven, He was seen.
Alleluia, Alleluia!

5 This time of holy paschal joy,
In hymns to Christ let all employ;
Alleluia, Alleluia!
The Holy Trinity be praised,
Glad thanks to God Almighty raised.
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 >
