Hymns for Christian Devotion

The standard hymnal of mid-nineteenth-century Universalism, edited jointly by Adams and the orator Chapin and 'especially adapted to the Universalist denomination.' Over a thousand hymns organized by doctrine and occasion, purged of the imagery of wrath and reprobation and rich in the themes of divine fatherhood and universal hope. For a generation this was the book in the pew racks of Universalist churches across the country.
