Person Name: Ukj. Translator of "O kom dog hver, som Synd har gjort" in M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg 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.

Lehr's hymns are full of love to Christ and of the wonders of the redeeming grace of God. They are allied to those of Allendorf (q.v.), and were also mostly contributed to the Cöthnische Lieder (p. 50, ii.). of which he was joint editor. In 1757 they were edited along with his other poetical works as his Himlisches Vergnügen in Gott und Christo, Halle, 1757. [Wernigerode Library] by Samuel Helmich, then court preacher at Glückstadt, Holstein, who had married Lehr's widow.
