Who in the Lord confide;
Secure, immovable they stand,
Forever to abide.

The mountains give defense,
Jehovah is His people’s guard,
Their lasting confidence.

Lest righteous men, oppressed by wrong,
To evil turn aside.

With wayward, wand’ring feet,
With sinners God will lead them forth,
The sinner’s doom to meet.

George Frideric Handel
1685 - 1759 Person Name: Handel Composer of "BRADFORD" in The Psalter George Frideric Handel (b. Halle, Germany, 1685; d. London, England, 1759) became a musician and composer despite objections from his father, who wanted him to become a lawyer. Handel studied music with Zachau, organist at the Halle Cathedral, and became an accomplished violinist and keyboard performer. He traveled and studied in Italy for some time and then settled permanently in England in 1713. Although he wrote a large number of instrumental works, he is known mainly for his Italian operas, oratorios (including Messiah, 1741), various anthems for church and royal festivities, and organ concertos, which he interpolated into his oratorio performances. He composed only three hymn tunes, one of which (GOPSAL) still appears in some modern hymnals. A number of hymnal editors, including Lowell Mason, took themes from some of Handel's oratorios and turned them into hymn tunes; ANTIOCH is one example, long associated with “Joy to the World.”

Author of "Like Zion's Steadfast Mount Are They" in The Cyber 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.
