Representative Text

1 Jesus, our Lord, we know Thy name,
Thy name is all our trust!
Thou wilt not put our souls to shame,
Nor let our hope be lost.

2 Firm as Thy life the promise stands,
And Thou canst well secure
What we've committed to Thy hands,
Till the appointed hour.

3 Then wilt Thou own us each by name
Before Thy Father's face;
And in the New Jerusalem
Give us our blood-bought place.

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 >
