Does anyone have book recommendations for Bible and Gospel rhymes?
My fiance and I are both artists and are thinking about creating a Children's book of Bible stories without purported images of our Lord. Below are some works I found online, which contain various Bible and Gospel rhymes. I think they could be inspirations for developing a Children's book of Bible Stories in rhyme. There are several illustrated children books out there that rhyme Bible stories; however, they use forbidden images of the Lord, so I have not included them in the list below.
Job's hymns; or, A book of songs upon the book of Job By Ralph Erskine
A new version of the Song of Solomon, into common metre By Ralph Erskine
Abridged history of the Bible, in verse By Sarah Richardson
Bible rhyme: a lesson for old and young ... edited by Arthur Cleveland Coxe
Bible rhymes on the names of all the books of the Old and New Testament: with allusions to some of the principal incidents and characters By Hannah More
Scripture portraits; or, Tales for my daughter in rhyme ... By T. S. Brittan
Contemporary Bible and Gospel rhymes:
The Rhyming Gospels By Bernard Williams
Ripples of Light By Bernard Williams
The Bible in Rhyme By Kyle Holt
The Gospels In Rhyme: Let's sing the scriptures! By William Simmer
