We’ve been trying to revive our old habit of singing after bedtime prayers. The von Trapps we are not, but it’s a wonderfully simple way to teach hymns to the wee ones without them realizing they are being taught.
The other night Larry asked lost boy #4 (age 3) what hymn he wanted to sing, and was baffled when he replied “Dogs-la-la-lee!” Now, as any hymn-loving mother can plainly see, the little lad wanted to sing the common Doxology. And so we did.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host!
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
