The New Hymn Book: Designed For Universalist Societies

The New Hymn Book: Designed For Universalist Societies is a book of hymns compiled by Sebastian Streeter and originally published in 1829. The book is specifically designed for use in Universalist societies, which were Christian congregations that believed in universal salvation and rejected the idea of eternal damnation. The hymns in the book are intended to reflect the Universalist belief in God's love for all people, regardless of their sins or beliefs. They cover a wide range of themes, including praise and worship, redemption, forgiveness, and the afterlife. The book includes both traditional hymns and original compositions by Streeter and other Universalist writers. Many of the hymns are set to familiar tunes, making them easy for congregations to sing together. Overall, The New Hymn Book provides a valuable resource for Universalist societies and anyone interested in the history of Christian hymnody. It offers a unique perspective on the role of music in the Universalist tradition and the beliefs that shaped it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
