Blessed Bible

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #803 (1908) First Line: Blessed Bible, how I love it! Lyrics: 1. Blessed Bible, how I love it! How it doth my bosom cheer! What hath earth like this to covet? O, what stores of wealth are here! 2. 'Tis a fountain ever bursting, Whence the weary may obtain Water for the soul that's thirsting, That it may not thirst again. 3. 'Tis a chart that never faileth, One which God to man has giv'n; And tho' oft the storm assaileth, It will guide us safe to heav'n. 4. 'Tis a pearl of price exceeding All the gems in ocean found; All its sacred precepts heeding, So shall we in grace abound.

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Blessed Bible, How I Love It!" in The Greatest Hymns 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.
