Caroline de Litchfield Harby

Caroline de Litchfield Harby (ca.1800-1876), a poet, was associated with her brother Isaac Harby, co-founder of Beth Elohim in Charleston, South Carolina, in his educational work in New York. Several of her hymns are included in the hymn-book of Beth Elohim (1842/1856), and one prayer of hers can be found among the handwritten prayerbooks of the Reformed Society of Israel.

God of My Fathers! Merciful and Just, a hymn on the Immortality of the Soul by Caroline de Litchfield Harby (Ḳ.Ḳ. Beth Elohim 1842)

“God of my fathers! merciful and just,” by Caroline de Litchfield Harby (ca.1800-1876), first published in 1842, appears under the subject “Immortality of the Soul” as Hymn 53 in Hymns Written for the Service of the Hebrew Congregation Beth Elohim, South Carolina (Penina Moïse et al., Ḳ.Ḳ. Beth Elohim, 1842), p. 55. That page is missing in the one copy of the first edition we know to exist. Thankfully, the hymn appears under the same subject as Hymn 39 in Hymns Written for the Use of Hebrew Congregations (Penina Moïse et al., Ḳ.Ḳ. Beth Elohim, 1856), p. 43. . . .
