Great Hymns of the Faith ~ Volume 2
“Do you long for your children to know the great hymns of the faith—while growing in musical skill, biblical knowledge, and family worship?”
Last Sunday night we had a Hymn Sing at our church. One of our sons commented while we were leaving:
"This music is so much better than the worship songs we sing on Sunday night. I wish we could sing hymns more often."
If you're in the same boat, where your church doesn't focus on hymns as much anymore, then this online course is perfect for you!
It's also great for all ages because of the variety of activities included.
Whether your purpose is to study hymns as part of your Charlotte Mason curriculum, morning basket time, to grow in your personal faith, family worship time, or simply as another genre for music appreciation, this is the course for you!
For each hymn you find:
- The Lyrics
- 3 Videos of various versions
- Information about the composer
- The Story behind the song
- PDF of all verses in 4-part harmony
- Videos and/or Audios of Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass so you can learn the parts and sing it in 4-part harmony with your family, co-op, or other group (recorded by Gena and her youngest son)
- A Music Lesson that relates to each hymn
- Copywork of the lyrics
- An original coloring page for each hymn
- A devotional written by a homeschool mom that relates to the hymn
- A Bible Study to do along-side learning the hymn. The Scripture is provided in three Bible versions, as well as a variety of Bible Study methods to choose from.
Here are the 10 hymns included in the course:

Your Instructor
Gena Mayo is a homeschooling mom of 8 who has been teaching music in various forms for 30 years. She has a Bachelors degree in Music Education and a Masters degree in Vocal Pedagogy (teaching voice lessons). It has been her joy to teach elementary and junior high choir, high school voice classes, private voice lessons for teens through adults, early childhood music and movement classes (babies through preschool), elementary general music, and music appreciation for elementary through high school. But, her favorite music teaching experience has been as musical director for stage musicals such as Seussical, Shrek, Singing in the Rain, Newsies, and Beauty and the Beast. It is Gena's desire to help all homeschoolers easily include music in their homeschools!
Perfect for use at a Homeschool Co-op:
"I enjoyed teaching Great Hymns of the Faith to students at our homeschool co-op who loved learning hymns they have not heard before. Each student kept a three prong folder with copies of the hymns, copywork, and coloring pages. During class we read through the hymn, listened to song, learned about its history, sang the song, learned the music lesson, spent time doing copywork and coloring, and, if time allowed, I shared the devotional. At our co-op Family Night the students shared what they learned about one of the songs and sang it for the audience, who joined us at the end."
