About the author

Born in 1863 and dying in 1927, Robert Aitkin Bertram was a Presbyterian minister, religious writer, and hymn writer. Sources identify him as Scottish by birth, and his work appeared in hymnological and religious reference records as well as later book editions.

He is associated with devotional and church-related writing rather than secular literature. Modern catalogs and hymn databases credit him with religious texts and hymn contributions, suggesting a career centered on preaching, teaching, and pastoral reflection.

Detailed biographical information about his personal life appears to be limited in the readily available sources. Even so, the record that remains points to a writer whose work was valued for practical faith, clear religious instruction, and usefulness within Christian reading and worship.
