Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Composer of "[Some folks wonder, why they never shout]" in The Joy Bells of Canaan or Burning Bush Songs No. 2 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.
