Cecil Frances Alexander (1818–1895)

The words of the well-known hymn reflect God's creation of animals, flowers, mountains, sun, rivers, humans, and our ability to enjoy all that He made.

Wonderfully illustrated with cut paper pieces. A hymn set to illustrations.

My library was finally able to get the actual book that we were requesting. This book has been done many times before, but I wanted to compare various artwork. This is the newest rendition for sale, and It has beautiful illustrations. It feels very now, where other copies have felt dated, or timeless.

I have been trying to get a very specific copy of this book. No luck yet, but our libraries are still trying. This is probably the most beautiful edition I have seen this year. The watercolor illustrations are vibrant and perfectly illustrate this poem.
