Hymnal: The Book of Worship #289 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Sinner, is thy heart at rest? Is thy bosom void of fear? Art thou not by guilt oppressed? Speaks not conscience in thine ear? 2 Can this world afford thee bliss? Can it chase away thy gloom? Flattering, false, and vain it is:-- Tremble at the worldling's doom. 3 Think, oh sinner, on thy end; See the judgment-day appear! Thither must thy spirit wend; There thy righteous sentence hear. 4 Wretched, ruined, helpless soul, To a Saviour's blood apply; He alone can make thee whole; Fly to Jesus,--sinner, fly!

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Is Thy Heart At Rest?" in The Pilot 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.
