Spend some time learning the words and tune of your chosen hymn.\u00a0 For younger children, one or two verses might be a realistic goal, while older children can probably learn the whole song.<\/p>\n

Singing the hymn every day during school or devotions can be a great way to learn a new hymn.<\/p>\n

Encourage children to think about the words as they sing them.\u00a0 A great hymn is a treasure-chest of thought-provoking material.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Use Your Hymn to Encourage Others<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Little King Davie was able to be a blessing, even when he was sick in the hospital, because he used his gift of singing to help those around him.\u00a0 Discuss how you can use the hymn you have learned to encourage and cheer others along your path.<\/p>\n

\n
• Can you sing to a baby sibling to keep them occupied while Mom makes dinner?<\/li>\n
• Can you visit an elderly relation, and brighten them with your song?<\/li>\n
• Can you sing cheerfully as you do your chores to help you do them heartily as unto the Lord?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Encourage your children to look for ways that they can bring glory to God.\u00a0 Little King Davie was a blessing because he was not performing, or thinking about praise for himself.\u00a0 He was simply sharing what he had with others who were in distress.<\/p>\n
