Weaving Gods Word Into Our Lives: Homeschooling and Hymn Study

Homeschooling and Hymn Study

Anna along with her regular studies is enjoying a lapbook/notebook study this week on some of the more famous Hymns and the writers of them. We thought we would pass on the link in case anyone is interested. Faithbooking Hymn Study

Here is a version of the Hymn we learned about today from You Tube. You will need to pause the music on the blog so that it does not overlap with the hymn when you listen.
O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing. Words by Charles Wesley

Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day.
1 Chronicles 16:23

What a great idea! My older girls did something similar (about hymnals) when I homeschooled them. It is always nice to know a little something about the songs we sing.
