We created this CD with brand-new transfers from the original vinyl records, and we even found an original, early recording of “I’m a Soldier in Christ’s Army” without the warping at the end, as well as a record with two new songs that have not been heard since the 1960’s: “The Best Christmas Present of All” and “I Want To Be a Little Missionary.” The musical quality is such that you won’t mind listening to them over and over–something that cannot always be said for children’s music. The style of these songs varies somewhat but most have a 1940s/50s flair with a mix of a boy soloist, a girls’ trio reminiscent of the Andrews Sisters, a male choir and John Redmond himself.

May the shelter I seek be the shadow of your cross.5. Jesus, with you at my side, enough has been given.4. May your passion and death be my strength and life.3. May your body and blood be my food and drink.2. Our children listened to these songs regularly when they were little and it always delighted me to hear them humming or singing them to themselves.

Help your children learn their faith with these delightful songs from the 1950s! From the Ten Commandments to the Works of Mercy, these songs cover much of the Catechism and they do it in a way that is memorable as well as enjoyable.
