I think we have the same version of Blue Boat Home too; it's very beautiful. In response to your report about Shoreline UU... I've learned from writing about the hymns that I have to be more careful in generalizing about UU worship! After I wrote on Mom to the Left that I rarely hear "Enter, Rejoice and Come In," another UU blogger commented that it's one of his minister's favorite hymns and they use it all the time. It's nice to find out that some of these songs are beloved in other congregations. Hi Miya,

I would have picked many of the same selections. I recommend the CD solo version of Blue Boat Home, available on iTunes. The small congregation of the <a href="http://www.shorelineuu.org/" rel="nofollow">Shoreline UU Church in Shoreline, WA</a> sings "Come Sing a Song With Me" as an invocation at every service. The few times I visited, everyone knew all the words by heart and it was quite a beautiful and joyous way to start the service together. Nice post, Shelby.
