The Gospel Psalmist

A complete hymn-and-tune book 'for public, social, and private devotion,' compiled for Universalist congregations on the eve of the Civil War. Adams — the denomination's most industrious hymnal editor — gathered standard psalmody alongside hymns by Universalist writers, with the music printed above the words in the manner of the New England singing tradition. A window on how the denomination actually sounded on a Sunday morning.
