Representative Text

1 For my home and friends I thank thee,
For my father, mother dear,
For the hills, the trees, the flowers,
And the s,y all bright and clear.

2 Those I love thou wilt watch over,
Tho' they may be far away,
For thou lovest little children,
And wilt hear the words they say.

Amen.

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 >
