Representative Text

Tangles, tangles, tangles I was in;
I was born in Tangle Town because of Adam’s sin;
But Jesus came along the way and undid all the knots:
Now I’m so happy because I’m not in tangles!

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 >
