Behold Christ Rising From The Grave

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold Christ rising from the grave, Behold Him raised on high: He pleads His merits there to save Transgressors doomed to die. 2 There, on a glorious throne, He reigns, And by His power divine, Redeems us from the slavish chains Of Satan and of sin. 3 Thence shall the Lord to judgment come, And with a sovereign voice, Shall call, and break up every tomb, While waking saints rejoice. 4 O may I then with joy appear Before the Judge’s face! And with the blest assembly there, Sing His redeeming grace. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Sunday School Hymn Book (Philadelphia, American Sunday School Union, 1827)

Author of "Behold Christ Rising From The Grave" 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.
