Weary pilgrim why this sadness?

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1151 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Weary pilgrim why this sadness? Why 'mid sorrow's scenes decline? The trial strange, brings you and gladness; For all things shall yet be thine! O yes, all things shall yet be thine! 2 Earth anew, with robe of glory, Shall rejoice in hill and vale; And sweetest harpings tell the story Of the love that could not fail; O yes, the love that could not fail. 3 Thou shalt range the fields of pleasure, Where joy's gushing songs arise; Thou shalt have all thy well-stores treasure, In the new earth, paradise; Yes, in the new earth, paradise. 4 Weary pilgrim, leave thy sadness; To Mount Zion thou art come! Now swell thy songs of joyful gladness, And rejoice in thy blest home; Thine own, and Jesus' heavenly home. Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Tune Title: WHISPERING ANGELS

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Weary pilgrim why this sadness?" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book 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.
