Stories of the Great Hymns

Use this resource to rekindle an interest in the rich heritage of hymns and gospel songs. While appropriate as a supplementary piano book for private and group instruction, it could also be used in church choir clubs, Sunday schools, Christian schools or home school settings. Each unit contains information on the men and women who wrote the text and the music, a story about the creation of the hymn, a simplified piano arrangement (at the late elementary to early-intermediate level), and a fun activity page that reviews the information presented in the unit. Titles: Amazing Grace; Brighten the Corner; Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing; God Will Take Care of You; Holy, Holy, Holy; Jesus Loves Even Me; Jesus Loves Me; Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee; Take My Life and Let It Be; This is My Father's World; Trust and Obey
