Refrain: (sing first refrain twice)
Ev'rybody ought to know,
Ev'rybody ought to know,
Ev'rybody ought to know Who Jesus is.

1 He's the Lily of the Valley,
He's the Bright and Morning Star;
He's the fairest of ten thousand,
Ev'rybody ought to know. [Refrain]

2 On the cross He died for sinners,
And His blood makes white as snow;
Loving, living, coming Savior—
He's the one you ought to know. [Refrain]

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 >
