2012 Plans: Hymns
Here are our selections for the year. This gets harder every year, because I love more and more hymns! The numbers are for with the new Trinity Hymnal. I put the date we should begin the hymn, Lord willing, we tend to do one verse per week.
January – Review month.
February – (1/30) – To God be the Glory (#55)
March A – (2/20) – O Sacred Head now Wounded (#247) (during Lent)
March B – (3/12) – Sing Choirs of New Jerusalem (# 271) (our pastor loves this one on Resurrection Sunday)
April (4/9) – Like a River Glorious (#699)
May (4/30) – Praise My Soul the King of Heaven (#76)
June (6/11)- Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise (#38) (we have a week off in June)
July (7/2) – Come, Thou Almighty King (#101)
August (7/31) –O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus (#535) (this is only 3 verses for 5 weeks … I’m trying to build in some cushion)
September – (9/3) – Great is Thy Faithfulness (#32)
October (9/24) – For All the Saints (#358) (we’ve done this before, but not completely or well)
November (11/5) – Come, Ye Thankful People, Come (#715) (Yes, it is four verses in two weeks, three if you do school the week of Thanksgiving)
What a great foundation to store up in your children's hearts! I find myself humminh & singing hymns a lot- most of them I learned in childhood! Now you just need to add some psalms! 😉
Heather, Covenantal Catechism actually has bits of Psalms for every lesson 🙂
We have a Book of Songs for Singing, but it's going to have to wait until the children can accompany us.
