1 The Lord again to earth appears,
Our comforter in all our tears;
Who lately on the shameful tree
Died, wretched man from wrath to free.

2 The holy women spices brought,
And with the dawn their Savior sought;
To them the blessèd angels say:
"Fear not, the Lord is risen today."

3 "Bid His disciples weep no more:
This day doth Christ to them restore."
Lord, ours this paschal joy shall be;
Thanks to the blessèd Trinity.

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 >
