hymn study

I wanted to post about how I study hymns. We sing every afternoon just after lunch the hymn of the month. Then once a week we read about the hymn. The first week we talk about the author of the words and their experience on why they wrote the hymn. The second week we talk about the meaning of the verses and how we can experience it in our lives. The third week we have a bible devotional time on the bible verse that the hymn in derived from. The last week we do a review on everything we talked about.
