There is something about singing hymns that is intimidating. Learning multiple verses to different hymns can be time consuming and difficult. How can we as parents lead family worship and teach our children hymns when we do not know them ourselves? One of the great things we get to do as parents is to grow closer to God through the discipling of our children. Lets check out some ways that we can learn hymns ourselves, and then teach them to our children.

One of the problems I find with teaching hymns to young children is that the words are not repetitive. This is great for adults and older kids who can read but becomes more difficult with younger children. Below ,you can find hymns that are simple to learn and fun for your children.

Here are 52 hymns for your family to sing during family worship. Our family sings one hymn a week, and then we listen to hymns while we are driving and working around the house to help us and our children learn even more. Chose to sing one or more a week to learn all 52 hymns in one year.
