Hymns Composed by Different Authors

The first hymnbook of organized American Universalism, prepared at the request of the General Convention of the New England states by a committee of three: Hosea Ballou, Edward Turner, and Abner Kneeland. The three wrote most of the hymns themselves, and the collection sings the young movement's doctrine in its own words — Ballou's contributions especially carrying his theology into worship a generation before it was systematized in print.
