Author: John B. Tabb, 1845-1909 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3793 First Line: 'Tis Christmas night, the pure snow a flock unnumbered lies Lyrics: 1. ’Tis Christmas night, the pure snow a flock unnumbered lies;
The old Judean flocks aglow keep watch within the skies
An icy stillness closer holds the pulses of the breathless night,
And all the Christmas night, the angel stars shine bright
For Bethlehem’s light, for Bethlehem’s light.
2. A mystery deeper still folds the wondering hosts of light,
Till, lo, with holy reverence pale, that dims each diadem,
The lordliest earthward bending, hail the living light of Bethlehem,
Glad Bethlehem’s living light, the holy Christmas light,
Glad Bethlehem’s light, the living light. Languages: English Tune Title: ['Tis Christmas night, the pure snow a flock unnumbered lies]

Person Name: Anon. Author of "The wise may bring their learning" in The School Hymnary 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.
