1 Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who for us was born,
In the stable, cold and poor,
On glad Christmas morn.

2 Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who was crucified
On Good Friday for our sins:
Loving us He died.

3 Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who for sinners lay
In the tomb, and rose upon
Happy Easter day.

4 Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
He, Who is our Way,
Went up in a cloud to heaven
On Ascension day.

5 Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
Who, at Whitsuntide
Sent His Holy Spirit down
With us to abide.

6 Glory to the blessèd Jesus!
We will praise His love,
All our days on earth below,
And for aye above.

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 >
