1 Morn of beauty! Morn of gladness,
Brightening o’er the sinful earth;
Chasing shades of doubt and sadness,
Wakening all to holy mirth.

2 Past the days of tears and mourning,
Peace and joy alone remain;
Hail alone the light of Easter dawning
On the darksome world again.

3 Ransomed sinners gladly waking,
Bless the day the Savior rose;
Chains of death asunder breaking,
Vain the malice of His foes.

4 Now redemption’s work completed,
Gloriously He leaves the grave!
Be by every tongue repeated,
"Christ the Lord is ris’n 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 >
