Don't Stay Away

Representative Text

Brother, don't stay away,
Brother, don't stay away,
Brother, don't stay away, don't stay away.
My Lord says there's room enough,
room enough in the heav'ns for you,
My Lord says there's room enough, don't stay away.

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 >
