Blessed Jesus

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Junior Songs #180 (1892) Hymnal Title: Junior Songs First Line: Blessed Jesus, meek and mild Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, meek and mild, Stoop to hear a little child; At thy feet I come to pray, Saviour, cast me not away. 2 Take away my load of sin, Make me clean and pure within; Teach me all I need to know, Be my Shepherd here below. 3 In my childhood may I be Gentle, meek and pure like thee; Help me ev'ry sin to leave, Lest thy loving heart I grieve. 4 Tender Jesus, thou didst call To thine arms the children small; Lo, I come, and humbly pray, Saviour, cast me not away.

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Hymnal Title: Junior Songs Author of "Blessed Jesus" in Junior Songs 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.

Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia.

Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
