Lyrics: 1 O Earth, on Easter morning All jubilantly sing, As on the dear Lord’s altar We lay the flowers of spring. They seemed to die in autumn, But lo, today they bloom; So Christ who died has risen In beauty from the tomb. Refrain: Lo, Christ the Lord is risen! O Earth, lift up thy voice In joy of Easter morning, The Savior lives: rejoice! 2 Behold, the grave is empty In which the Savior lay; O’er sin and death triumphant He lives in Heav’n today; And as our Savior liveth, We know that we shall live And share with Him the glory He promiseth to give. [Refrain] 3 All hail, Thou risen Savior! By Thy deserted tomb Faith stands and points us heav’nward Above earth’s grief and gloom. There in the spring of Heaven The soul’s white flower shall rise From out earth’s winter slumber And bloom in paradise. [Refrain] Used With Tune: HERMOSILLO Text Sources: Carols Old and Carols New by Charles L. Hutchins (Boston: Parish Choir, 1916)

Author of "O Earth, On Easter Morning" 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.
