Read and sing.
Learn together.
Gather around a hymn, listen to its words, and talk about what they mean. Pat’s writing brings Scripture and familiar melodies into time spent together at home.
Begin with Alphabet Hymns
Alphabet Hymns contains 26 original hymns arranged from A to Z. Selected Scripture passages precede each poem, with a familiar tune suggested for singing.

Give one hymn your attention.
Keep the pace comfortable for your family. Read the passage and hymn aloud, then stay with a phrase that prompts a question or a conversation. Try a simple way to read and sing together.
Talk about the words
Choose a phrase to discuss in your own words. Talk about unfamiliar language and how the hymn relates to the Scripture you read.
Sing or write in response
Try the suggested tune together. For readers who enjoy writing, A Companion Journal provides lined pages for thoughts and prayers. Our simple guide to hymn meter shows how to count the syllables in a line.
For a Christian classroom,
or a school gathered in worship.
Use a hymn for classroom devotions, a poetry discussion, or chapel singing. Alphabet Hymns pairs Scripture passages with poems; Heritage Hymns offers a larger collection with indexes to help teachers find hymns by Scripture passage, tune, or meter.
