I want to be ready when Jesus comes,
I want to be ready when Jesus comes.
Earth’s pleasures grow dim
While I’m waiting for Him;
Lord, keep me till Jesus comes.

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 >
