Blest Jesus! come Thou gently down

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #207 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest Jesus! come Thou gently down, And fill this hallow'd place: Oh, make Thy glorious goings known, Diffuse around Thy grace! 2 Shine, dearest Lord, from realms of day, Disperse the gloom of night; Chase all our clouds and doubts away, And turn the shades to light. 3 Behold, and pity from above, Our cold and languid frame; Oh, shed abroad Thy quick'ning love, And glorify Thy name. 4 All-glorious Saviour, source of grace, To Thee we raise our cry: Unveil the beauties of Thy face To ev'ry waiting eye. 5 Revive, O God, desponding saints, Who languish, droop, and sigh: Refresh the soul that tires and faints, Fill mourning hearts with joy.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Blest Jesus! come Thou gently down" in Songs for the Service of Prayer 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.
