In order to help children see why the old hymns are worth holding on to, Rivers Houseal has paraphrased eighty classic hymns into words that a middle-grader can understand. The paraphrase is presented stanza by stanza—first, a vocabulary "translation" is given, immediately followed by the original hymn lyrics. The result: children realize what powerful teaching and beauty is hidden in these hymns.
