Dear Saviour, we would know thy love

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #803 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, we would know thy love Which yet no measure knows; For us it led thee once to die; From thence salvation flows. 2 Fain would we strike the golden harp, And wear the promised crown, And at thy feet, while bending low, Would sing what grace hath done. 3 Then leave us not in this dark world, As strangers long to roam; Come, Lord, and take us to thyself, Come, Jesus, quickly come! Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Tune Title: ABRIDGE

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Dear Saviour, we would know thy love " in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book 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.
