About This Item
New York: Seabury Press, 1981. First Edition. Oversized paperback. Very good. I Sing a Song of the Saints of God" is one of those children's hymns that produces warm fuzzies from people who grew up in a wide swath of Christian churches. Since it was first published in 1929, it has appeared in the official hymnals of a range of Protestant denominations and less formal song books; it even appears in Book of Worship for United States Forces! It rattles off a list of unnamed saints from all walks of life-famously, "One was a soldier, and one was a priest, and one was slain by a fierce wild beast"-with each verse ending with a variation of, "I can be one too." Here, Judith Gwyn Brown's charming drawings illustrate the song by showing us a church pageant where the children dress as the different saints...and Brown, thankfully, tells us who they are and a bit about them! The music is included, making it one of the few picture books parents and children can sing along with as they turn the pages
