From Sonya:
I love adding hymn study to our family subjects. Something beautiful happens as we learn and sing words that glorify and praise our Heavenly Father.
Our Hymns, Our Heritage: A Hosanna Hymnal is written by David *=& Barbara Leeman and forwarded by Keith & Krystin Getty (who write their own beautiful hymns and music).
This gorgeous book is filled with over 100 hymns. Next to each hymn, they have included a history of the hymn author, a history of the composer, and a section called, "As you sing this hymn", which focuses on the words and message of the song.
I am so excited to be able to add this beautiful book to our morning time. It is definitely a keepsake to be handed down from generation to generation.
From the back of the book:
Our Hymns, Our Heritage encourages a love and appreciation for the church’s hymns—a significant way to pass the Christian faith from generation to generation. The book features music and lyrics for 121 hymns that every person should know, drawn from a cross-section of styles, themes, and historical eras. The hymns are divided into sections based on the church year, God’s nature and attributes, and our responses to Him. Each hymn is presented on single book spread—the left-hand page gives a brief biography of the text’s author and the melody’s composer as well as a devotional summary to aid singing with understanding. The right-hand page is hymnal-like with the music and stanzas for simple playing and singing. Our Hymns, Our Heritage can be used by parents and educators alike to instill a life-long love for the richness and beauty of hymns.
