Songs from the Robinson book were also recorded on cassette in stereo and also on CD.
We do not own the rights to this book, but post this information for those who might wish to procure a copy of it for themselves,
especially as it contains the only known translations of "Jesus Loves Me" and the real translation of the song "Silent Night".
One other song it contains is the "Trail of Tears Song" aka "One Drop of Blood" which, as Prentice Robinson states,
"Ironically, not one syllable translates as 'drop' or 'blood'. It is a song of praise."
