How many Christian songs can YOU sing without music? I don't mean "sing along with" but I mean actually sing all the words with an approximation of a melody. We can sing a few hymns now and I KNOW that these come back to serve me in moments when I need to focus on the Lord.
I do plan to use the hymns for copywork, vocabulary study, theology, and more during this coming school year. We haven't done much of this before, although one year we did make a lapbook of that year's hymns.
So, here are the hymns and praise choruses for the upcoming school year.
| August | Praise Him! Praise Him! | Why So Downcast |
| September | The Solid Rock | Mighty is our God |
| October | The Old Rugged Cross | Great and Mighty is He |
| November | Trust and Obey | Jesus is Alive |
| December | O Come All Ye Faithful | ??? |
| January | A New Name in Glory | Change My Heart O God |
| February | Since Jesus Came Into My Heart | Shine Jesus Shine |
| March | Redeemed | He is the King of Kings |
| April | In The Garden | Ancient of Days |
| May | At Calvary | God Will Make a Way |
| June | Tis So Sweet To Trust In Jesus | ??? |
| July | The Star-Spangled Banner | ??? |

This is truly a great idea. And I do think that studying hymns is a good substitute for poetry. :-)
I've added this post to my Delicious bookmarks. Thanks!
So many of the old hymns have wonderful theology! It's a great way to teach. I wonder if anyone has a set out there to buy -- with CD, music, copywork pages, etc.
