Hymn Stories – September 2024

Cecil Frances Alexander wrote the hymn, “All Things Bright and Beautiful” as a song for children to explain the phrases and truths of the Christian faith expressed in the Apostles’ Creed. This series of hymns was published in 1848 in “Hymns for Little Children.” It became one of the most successful hymn-publishing projects in history, going through over one hundred editions.
