1 A bright and glorious hope is ours,
We have no portion here;
Our hearts would seek the things above,
Till Thou, Lord, shalt appear.

2 The world thro’ which we pass is that
Which crucified the Lord,
And how can we have any joy
Where Thou art still ignored?

3 The time is hastening swiftly on
When He will come again,
And o’er the earth, renewed and blessed,
With all His saints to reign.

4 To us ’tis giv’n to suffer still,
Until that joyful hour;
And greater glory this we deem
Than earthly pomp or power.

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. Go to person page >
