Person Name: unknown Topics: God's World Nations, Justice, and Peace Author of "God save our gracious Queen" in Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) 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.
