Sweet Easter Bells

On mountain height, by peaceful shores, O’er sunny meads, in shaded dells; Awake, your sacred echoes, wake, Ring out your chimes, sweet Easter bells! Let humble fane and lofty dome Each answer each in tuneful swells, O’er every temple to His praise, Ring loud and clear sweet Easter bells. 2. The orb of day his course pursues, And in his path all shade dispels; With him encircling earth around, Ring out, ring out sweet Easter bells. Sweet Easter bells, glad Easter bells, Your liquid melody foretells That morn when death itself shall die, And Heaven ring, sweet Easter bells.

Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Author of "Sweet Easter Bells" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.

Joseph Haydn

1732 - 1809 Person Name: Franz Josef Haydn Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Composer of "CREATION" in The Cyber Hymnal Franz Joseph Haydn (b. Rohrau, Austria, 1732; d. Vienna, Austria, 1809) Haydn's life was relatively uneventful, but his artistic legacy was truly astounding. He began his musical career as a choirboy in St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna, spent some years in that city making a precarious living as a music teacher and composer, and then served as music director for the Esterhazy family from 1761 to 1790. Haydn became a most productive and widely respected composer of symphonies, chamber music, and piano sonatas. In his retirement years he took two extended tours to England, which resulted in his "London" symphonies and (because of G. F. Handel's influence) in oratorios. Haydn's church music includes six great Masses and a few original hymn tunes. Hymnal editors have also arranged hymn tunes from various themes in Haydn's music. Bert Polman
