On the other hand, since then I've selected songs for Labor Sunday services which are all about solidarity and community. There are great songs for universal justice and compassion. "Spirit of Life" is one of them, stirring both in the individuals who sing it.

I quickly reviewed these - and found NO songs about Universal Restoration. Checking older hymn books, including the 1829 Streeter hymnal, a quick check shows no songs about Universal Restoration - which makes sense.... do the Baptist have many hymns about baptism? You just know God will eventually restore everyone to God, why not sing of something else? I would suggest 29 Joyful Joyful We Adore thee by the way Scott, someone thought "Bring O' Morn Thy Music" was one of the four most Universalist songs in the SLT (the others being 138, 299, and 318) Back in January, I asked folks on the Universalist Convocations mailing list to tell me what traditional Universalist hymns are in the SINGING THE LIVING TRADITION.
