Author: Anonymous Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: "Perfect in love!"—Lord, can it be Lyrics: 1 "Perfect in love!"—Lord, can it be, Amidst this state of doubt and sin, While foes so thick without I see, With weakness, pain, disease within: Can perfect love inhabit here, And, strong in faith, extinguish fear? 2 O Lord! amidst this mental night, Amidst the clouds of dark dismay, Arise! arise! shed forth Thy light, And kindle love’s meridian day. My Savior God, to me appear, So love shall triumph over fear. Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE Text Sources: Hymns for the Chamber of Sickness by James Edmeston (London: Religious Tract Society, 1844)

Author of "Perfect In Love! Lord, Can It Be" in The Cyber Hymnal 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.
