Person Name: Unknown Composer of "SALEM" in African Methodist Episcopal Church 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.

A. R. Cousin
1824 - 1906 Person Name: Anne Ross Cousin, 1824-1906 Author of "O now is the time to remember our Creator!" in The Book of Praise Cousin, Anne Ross, née Cundell, is the only daughter of David Ross Cundell, M.D., Leith, and is the widow of the Rev. William Cousin, late Minister of the Free Church of Melrose. She has contributed many poems to various periodicals; 7 hymns to The Service of Praise, 1865, edited by the Rev. J. H. Wilson, of Edinburgh; and 1 to the Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship, 1866, the Hymnal of the English Presbyterian Church. Four of her hymns are included in the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal, 1876. Her most popular hymn, "The sands of time are sinking," was first published in The Christian Treasury for 1857, and gives its title to the collected edition of her poems published in 1876, as Immanuel’s Land and other Pieces by A. R. C. This is a collection of 107 hymns and poems, many of which are very beautiful. In general they are, however, rather meditations than hymns suited for public worship. Of these the following, in addition to those annotated under their first lines, are in common use:—
1. King Eternal, King Immortal. Christmas.
2. O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head. Good Friday.
3. To Thee, and to Thy Christ, O God. Praise.
4. To thy father and thy mother. Filial Duty.
[Rev. J. Mearns, M.A.]
