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."
