Alexander Streeter Arnold

Alexander Streeter Arnold (1829-1923) was an American hymnal compiler and poet who lived for many years at Valley Falls, Rhode Island. He assembled Hymns of Joy for Christian Worship (1879), which reprinted the Universalist profession of faith adopted at Winchester, New Hampshire in 1803, and the related New Hymns of Joy (1885). He also published a volume of poems, a short play, and hymn texts such as "Live Nearer to Jesus." Little else has been recorded about his life.

'Sacred songs of perfect faith for Christian worship' — a small self-published collection by A. S. Arnold, namesake-kin of the Streeter hymnbook dynasty. A specimen of the private, individually-issued hymnody that persisted alongside the denomination's official books throughout the century.
