Now let our hearts conspire to raise

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #667 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: [Congregation] 1 Now let our hearts conspire to raise A cheerful anthem to thy praise: Let music, sweet as incense, rise With grateful odours to the skies. [Children] 2 Teach us to bow before thy face, Nor let our hearts forget thy grace; When lost in ignorance we lay, Thy goodness snatch'd our souls away. [Congregation] 3 O what a num'rous race we see, In ignorance and misery! Shall they continue still to lie In ignorance and misery! [Children] 4 Give, Lord, each liberal soul to prove The joys of thine exhaustless love; May we the sacred scriptures know, And like the blessed Jesus grow. [Congregation] 5 We feel a sympathizing heart; Lord, 'tis a pleasure to impart; Hear thou our cry, and pitying see, O let these children live to thee.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Now let our hearts conspire to raise" in A Collection of Hymns, for the use of the United Brethren in Christ 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.
