"I Shall Not Die Without A Hope" Testament of Freedom - Song 4 sung by Columbia Choral Society

In this video are shown the Title Pages of the TWO versions of the so-called

Jefferson Bible.

Reading the Title Pages, one can learn much truth not told in the History books.

Always best to go to "original source materials", not accept the "story" of some history book writer who copied some other prior history book writer and thereby duplicated, or compounded the original error.

See for yourself...

And then hear the wonderful wise words of Jefferson sung by the

Wonderful Voices of the Columbia Choral Society!

Enjoy!

TJ: said use Isaac Watts Hymn Book - Did TJ intend Divine & Moral Songs for Children ?

As President, Thomas Jefferson was also the Chairman of the City of Washington public schools. In that capacity, Jefferson stated that two books WOULD be used in the schools, the Holy Bible and the Isaac Watts Hymnal. However, we do not know what translation of the Bible, whether the Authorized or King James Version, or some other translation. Further, we do not know if Jefferson was referring to the Isaac Watts hymnal for children shown here that is titled "Divine and Moral Songs for Children", or the hymnal used in many churches, "Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs."
