There are many hymns that appear in Henkel's hymn book (https://hymnary.org/hymnal/CHBC1838?page=0) not found anywhere else but in the other editions of the work. Would it be safe to assume these are hymns by Henkel?
I compared the first hymn in the book with Joy to the World in the book, and the first hymn had a ‡, double dagger symbol. I checked this with another hymn explicitly marked as Henkel's in Hymnary, and it had it too.
