To You Alone was written by Fred and Ruth Coleman. The hymn is often referred to by its first line “Let us join our hearts together and give thanks in one accord.”

The hymn has appeared in the hymnal Hymns Modern and Ancient.

I’ve been unable to find any additional information on the composers or song.
