Representative Text

1 O Je­sus, Lord! when shall we see,
And cast our long­ing eyes on Thee?
On Thee our light, our life, our love,
Our all be­low, our heav’n ab­ove?

2 O hap­py day! when we no more
Shall grieve Him whom our souls ad­ore;
When sor­rows, con­flicts, fears, shall cease,
And all our tri­als end in peace.

3 Come, Sav­ior, come! O quick­ly come,
Take us, Thy wait­ing people, home;
We long to stand around Thy throne,
To love and serve Thee, Lord, alone.

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 >
