1 Bright morning stars are rising.
Bright morning stars are rising.
Bright morning stars are rising.
Day is a-breaking in my soul.

2 Oh, where are our dear mothers?
Oh, where are our dear mothers?
Oh, where are our dear mothers?
Day is a-breaking in my soul.

3 They are sowing seeds of gladness.
They are sowing seeds of gladness.
They are sowing seeds of gladness,
Day is a-breaking in my soul.

4 Oh, where are our dear fathers?
Oh, where are our dear fathers?
Oh, where are our dear fathers?
Day is a-breaking in my soul.

5 They are in the fields a-plowing.
They are in the fields a-plowing.
They are in the fields a-plowing,
Day is a-breaking in my soul.

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 >
