Hymns in Prose for Children

Back in 1781 Mrs. Barbauld penned these delightful hymns to help children grow "accustomed to see the Creator in the visible appearance of all around him, to feel His continual presence, and lean upon His daily protection." But unlike the hymns we usually sing, these hymns are written in everyday sentence structure (prose), not in poetry form. Because of that style and the beautifully rich content, Charlotte Mason recommended Hymns in Prose for Children as "very suitable" for reading lessons. Breath-taking pen and ink drawings surround and support the text, adding to a rich reading experience. Use Hymns in Prose for Children and the basis for guided reading lessons or simply as a lovely resource to practive reading aloud.
