Author of "If angels sung a Savior's birth" in The Sacred Harp 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.

Joseph Stephenson

1728 - 1810 Composer of "MILFORD" in An American Christmas Harp
