Howard Kingsbury

Short Name: Howard Kingsbury
Full Name: Kingsbury, Howard, 1842-1878
Birth Year: 1842

Kingsbury, Howard. This name is associated with the popular hymn in days gone by, "Come, let us all unite and sing, God is love!" (God is Love), but concerning the same we have failed to gain any information. We know personally that the hymn was in common use nearly forty years ago (circa 1850).

--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
