Representative Text

1 Amarte sólo a ti, Señor,
amarte sólo a ti, Señor,
amarte sólo a ti, Señor,
y no mirar atrás;
Seguir tu caminar, Señor,
seguir sin desmayar, Señor,
postrado ante tu altar, Señor,
y no mirar atrás.

2 Confiar tan sólo en ti, Señor,
Confiar tan sólo en ti, Señor,
Confiar tan sólo en ti, Señor,
y hacer tu voluntad.
Al débil proteger, Señor,
al pobre defender, Señor,
tu reino proclamar, Señor,
y no volver atrás.

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 >
