Universalist Creed. Upright in heart, in all our dealings just, In God's free grace we put our only trust And in his boundless, universal love, We place our hope of Heaven and bliss above And when life's scene is drawing to a close, Calmly we sink into our last repose And as in Adam death o'er all doth reign, Even so in Christ shall all be raised again.^[1]
