Notes from Andover-Harvard Theological Library

================================

The Unitarian Hymns for the Sanctuary, Boston, 1849, were edited by the Rev. C. A. Bartol and others, and are known as Bartol's Collection.

--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology,, p. 120 (1907)

==============================

Henry Wilder Foote notes in the DNAH Archives that the hymn "Be thou ready, fellow-mortal" never had its authorship disclosed, but its "theme and mode of expression suggest that it may have been written by [Cyrus Augustus] Bartol."
