Meek and Lowly
Author: Charles Jefferys Hymnal: The Bright Array #182 (1889) First Line: Meek and lowly, pure and holy Refrain First Line: Meek and lowly, pure and holy Lyrics: 1 Meek and lowly, pure and holy,
Chief among the blessed three;
Turning sadness into gladness,
Heav’n-born art thou, charity.
Pity dwelleth in thy bosom,
Kindness reigneth o’er thy heart;
Gentle thoughts alone can sway thee,
Judgment hath in thee no part.
Refrain:
Meek and lowly, pure and holy,
Chief among the blessed three;
Turning sadness into gladness,
Heav’n-born art thou, charity.
2 Hoping ever, failing never,
Though deceived, believing still;
Long abiding, all confiding
To thy heav’nly Father’s will;
Never weary of well-doing,
Never fearful of the end;
Claiming all mankind as brothers,
Thou dost all alike befriend. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:12 Tune Title: [Meek and lowly, pure and holy]

Carolina Sandell
1823 - 1903 Person Name: Lina Sandell Author of "Vid en skiljeväg" in Sions Basun Caroline W. Sandell Berg (b. Froderyd, Sweden, 1832; d. Stockholm, Sweden, 1903), is better known as Lina Sandell, the "Fanny Crosby of Sweden."
"Lina" Wilhelmina Sandell Berg was the daughter of a Lutheran pastor to whom she was very close; she wrote hymns partly to cope with the fact that she witnessed his tragic death by drowning. Many of her 650 hymns were used in the revival services of Carl O. Rosenius, and a number of them gained popularity particularly because of the musical settings written by gospel singer Oskar Ahnfelt. Jenny Lind, the famous Swedish soprano, underwrote the cost of publishing a collection of Ahnfelt's music, Andeliga Sänger (1850), which consisted mainly of Berg's hymn texts.

Person Name: Okänd Composer of "[Alla Herrens vägar äro]" in Andeliga Sånger (3. upplagan) 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.
