A must have for a good sing song in assemblies!
If you are a person that enjoys singing with children, the come and praise song books are a must have! The songs are particularly suitable for school assemblies and, guaranteed, there will be a song or hymn that you can find to sing with children for any occassion or season of the year. There is a huge selection of songs and there will be songs to appeal to all tastes, but most importantly, the children love them!
Accompany with the music on guitar or piano, or purchase the accompanying CD for an enjoyable performance.
An excellent selection of hymns that children will love
After using 'Come and Praise One' with my Primary school children I was very pleased to purchase the complete 'Come and Praise' and looked foward to playing and singing the new hymns on offer. I was not disappointed. Both the lyrics and music are easy to read,and the melodies to the hymns were quite delightful. The children at my school particularly like 'All the Animals' The lyrics are both amusing and thought provoking and are an excellent starting point for discussion in assembly. There are also hymns for Christmas,Easter and Harvest,the new harvest hymns were a welcome change from the old standards! 'Complete Come and Praise' is the only hymn book you will need for Primary School worship.
Hymns Inspired for a New Generation
Come and Praise, from BBC EDUCATION, is an exciting anthology of hymns for use with schools, church and youth choirs. The complete Come and Prise publishes all the songs from the original 'Come and Praise 1' and 'Come and praise 2' - and the songs are grouped into: The created world; The life of Jesus, Praise and thanksgiving; The journey of life; Songs of worship; The human family; Caring for the world; Day by day; Seasons; Christmas; Easter; Harvest; Peace and includes almost 150 songs for all ages.
The songs are from a wide selection of cultures: some traditional, some Asian and Caribbean, some from pop traditions. The music has been written especially simply so that it can be used in a variety of situations, with a variety of accompanists. An extra stave is often present for tuned-percussion, if desired.
Come and Praise broke new ground, that is to lower the divide between Christianity and other faiths. Although there are obvious biblical references, some hymns can be a reflection of the world around us.
These songs will be known to a new generation of children.
