If We Have Forgotten the Name of Our God

Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.11.11.11 with refrain Appears in 11 hymnals Refrain First Line: Rise, help, and redeem us Lyrics: 1. If we have forgotten the name of our God, Or unto an idol our hands spread abroad, Shall not the Almighty uncover this sin? He knows all our hearts and the secrets within. Refrain Rise, help, and redeem us, Thy mercy we trust; Rise, help, and redeem us, Thy mercy we trust. 2. We all the day long for Thy sake are consumed, Defeated and helpless, to death we are doomed; Then why dost Thou tarry? Jehovah, awake; Nor spurn us forever; arise for our sake. [Refrain] 3. O why art Thou hiding the light of Thy face, Forgetting our burden of grief and disgrace? Our soul is bowed down, yea, we cleave to the dust; Rise, help and redeem us, Thy mercy we trust. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MAGNUS Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 123

Composer of "ROBINSON" in The Psalter 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.

J. B. Herbert

1852 - 1927 Person Name: John B. Herbert Composer of "MAGNUS" in The Psalter
