Person Name: Anon. Author of "I Can't Feel at Home In this World" in Church 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.

After the Sunrise
Farther Along
God Shall Wipe Away All Tears (© 1940)
He Bore It All
I Have Peace in My Soul
I Hold His Hand (© 1929)
I Love My Savior, Too
I Want to Help Some Weary Pilgrim
I’m Living in Canaan Now
Living Grace
Praise the Lamb of God
Something Happens
Travel the Sunlit Way
Try Jesus
When He Blessed My Soul
When We Meet to Part No More
