Jesu, the World's Redeeming Lord

Author: Anonymous; William J. Copeland Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesu, the world’s redeeming Lord, The Father’s co-eternal Word, Of light invisible true light, Thine Israel’s keeper day and night. 2. Our great creator and our guide, Who times and seasons dost divide, Refresh at night with quiet rest, Our limbs by daily toil oppressed. 3. That while in this frail house of clay A little longer here we stay, Our flesh in Thee may sweetly sleep, Our souls with Thee their vigils keep. 4. We pray Thee, while we dwell below, Preserve us from our ghostly foe; Nor let his wiles victorious be O’er them that are redeemed by Thee. 5. O Lord of all, with us abide In this our joyful Eastertide; From every weapon death can wield Thine own redeemed forever shield. 6. All praise be Thine, O risen Lord, From death to endless life restored; All praise to God the Father be, And Holy Ghost eternally.

Author of "Jesu, the World's Redeeming Lord" 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.
