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 >
Oh, how weary and sad is my aching heart today,
As I languish alone to die!
Let me go, let me go to my home far away,
For which my poor soul doth sigh.
