About this Hymn
This children's hymn invites an older generation to tell the glorious deeds of the Lord (Ps. 78:4). The hymn teaches children the fundamental truths of our faith, found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It reminds them that everyone who trusts in him will be a child of God. – Jordan Kauflin
