Composer of "CANARY WHARF" 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.

Died: December 14, 1968, at his home in Louisville, Kentucky.

Jorgenson was the son of Danish immigrants. His father, Christopher Jorgenson, had been a soldier in the personal guard of the king of Denmark (probably Christian IX), and his mother a seamstress to the queen. The 1900 census shows the family living in Boone County, Nebraska. As a young man, Elmer led singing in churches in and around Albion, Nebraska, and in nearby Missouri. He was directing the music department at Western Bible and Literary College by 1908. In 1910, he and his wife Irene moved to Louisville, Kentucky. He was a member of the Churches of Christ.
Jorgenson’s works include:
Truth and Grace, with Robert Boll & James Shepherd (F. L. Rowe, 1917)
Great Songs of the Church (Louisville, Kentucky: Word and Work, 1921)
The New Alphabetical Hymnal (Chicago, Illinois: Great Songs Press, 1957)
