It has been a full 12 weeks of year 3 of homeschooling for us…and this is the 2nd year using Ambleside Online. Finally, I have integrated Hymns into our schedule. (Now I just need to get busy on Artist Study)
I know this is almost the end of October and if we follow the AO Hymn rotation, we would be moving on to the November selection of “He Hideth My Soul” but we are behind I thought about just waiting until November to start it but when I listened to “Dear Lord and Father of Mankind” it just is so beautiful that I didn’t want to wait. I found a youtube version that we have been listening to all morning.
I found the hymnal sheet at hymnwiki.org (using the tune Repton, Eb) and printed it out for each of us to have while we listen. I tried to sing along with it and of course, never having heard it before, didn’t quite have success
I think that we will start our day with the hymn.
Here is the youtube version- enjoy :
You'd really love our songs... you can hear the voice accompaniment on jw.org Jim even likes them! I often listen to them during the day and sing along - but I have a song book to help me! Besides, I know most of them or at lest recognize the melody.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of including a hymn each month; this is a new one to me.
