Saviour, I long to be

Author: Anon Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, I long to be Nearer to thee; In word and deed and thought Holy to be. O take this heart of mine And seal me ever thine, Fill me with love divine, For service, Lord! 2 Make me a blazing fire Where’er I go, That to a dying world Thee I may show: How thou hast bled and died That none may be denied, But in thy bleeding side A refuge find. 3 So shall my moments flow In praising thee, For thou hast never failed To strengthen me. Filled with the Holy Ghost, Saved to the uttermost, In Christ alone I’ll boast And forward go. Topics: The life of holiness Consecration and service

Person Name: Anon Author of "Saviour, I long to be" in The Song Book of the Salvation Army 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.
