I often mention singing together as a family because it’s one of my favorite memories of when our kids were all home. We sang with them from the time they were very little, all the way through the teen years. 

Also, we also played good Christian music when we were in the car when they were playing, or even at nap time. We taught them lots of worship songs for children. They learned scripture songs, kids choruses, and hymns.

Today I want to share a list of 25  hymns that I think our kids should know because they are foundational to our faith.

Girl Playing Ukulele 25 Hymns Our Kids Should Know The Character Corner

I was brought up in a home where hymns played a big part. 

We sang them at church, my mom listened to them on Christian radio and often sang hymns throughout the day as she worked.

I learned to love hymns and the message of them.  Today they still speak to my heart. I want to pass that on to my kids!

Music does something for your spirit, and it can also bring comfort during times of hurt.

Singing together is a great way to bond with your kids, and spend time together in a profitable, enjoyable way.

If you start when the kids are young, they will develop a love for music, and as they get older the music will minister to them. 

Teach your children these hymns that every child should know!

I have noticed that music continues to be important to my kids, even though they are older. It is comforting and encouraging to them.

I’ve seen a couple of the kids, as teens,  take their Bible and a hymn book to a quiet place to worship and spend time with God.

They use the hymns to worship and prepare their heart for what God has to say to them from His word.

We sing hymns about our salvation,  the power of God’s Word, what Christ suffered for us, and His greatness; we sing some hymns to bring comfort when we have heartaches.

Hymns are powerful and strong.

Teaching our kids great hymns of our faith should be part of their education, as these hymns reinforce the Biblical beliefs we teach them daily.

I have chosen 25 foundational hymns that I think our kids should learn. 

There are many, many others that are good, but this list will get you started.

Why not start singing these 25 hymns as a family?

1. When the Roll is Called Up Yonder

2. I Know Whom I Have Believed

3. Jesus Saves

4. It is Well With My Soul

5. Victory in Jesus

6. Great is Thy Faithfulness

7. The Solid Rock

8. Amazing Grace

9. Nothing But the Blood of Jesus

10. Leaning On the Everlasting Arms

11. The Bible Stands

12. Blessed Assurance

13. The Old Rugged Cross

14. Standing On the Promises of God

15. How Great Thou Art

17. To God Be the Glory

18. At Calvary

19. He Lives

20. Rock of Ages

21. Trust and Obey

23. A Mighty Fortress

24. Wonderful Grace of Jesus

    If you have a unique perspective to offer, a story to further illustrate the blogger’s point, or a point to add to what is already being said, 
    then by all means, respectfully contribute your thoughts. While writing “Great Site!” in the comments is nice and respectful,

    As I mentioned earlier, if you have a question about the writer’s post, ask that question. Chances are, if you’re confused, someone else will be, as well. Most blog authors will welcome your questions, and the opportunity to clarify their messages.
    Make sure you’re polite, and that your intention is to understand better, not to point out faults or argue. (That said, some bloggers love to argue, so you’ll need to read the blog and other comments to get a feel for each site and what is acceptable.)

    It’s really annoying as a reader and a blog owner to have a conversation going — only to have someone come in and ask the same question that has been asked five comments ago, 
     because the writer didn’t read all of the comments. Make sure you’re a part of the conversation, not just a drive-by commenter.

    I like the hymn “Days of Elija”
    and I also like “I’ve Got Peace Like a River”.

    August 26, 2019 at 9:12 pm

    Hi Chris! I agree – singing Scripture is such a great and simple way to keep it in our minds, and to help our kids remember Biblical truths!

  28. Kathie says

    August 26, 2019 at 9:11 pm

    Great additions to the list! 🙂

  29. Kathie says

    August 26, 2019 at 9:11 pm

    Hi Marlene! Thanks for adding some more ideas. I don’t htink I’ve ever heard Hold Fast to the Right, but it sounds like it would be good! Same with Cling to the Bible!

  30. Kathie says

    August 26, 2019 at 9:08 pm

    Those are all great hymns!

  31. Kathie says

    August 26, 2019 at 9:08 pm

    That’s one of my favorites!

  32. Kathie says

    August 26, 2019 at 9:08 pm

    Hi Joy! Glad you liked the list. What a great idea to get these songs into the hearts & minds of your kids so they will be thinking of them throughout their school day! Great way to keep them grounded in truth!

  33. Joy says

    August 26, 2019 at 6:47 pm

    Thanks for the list! Since my children attend school I have been lead to disciple heavily through song—both hymns and verses—so that spiritual truths are easy to access and meditate on throughout the day. So far it has been a great fit for our family, and I remember how useful songs were to me as a school child, too. I will be using several from this list this year! ❤️

    Some of my favorite memories have been singing with family these beautiful hymns. My favorites are: For the Beauty of the Earth, Come Thou Fount, Be Thou My Vision, How Great Thou Art, Great Is Thy Faithfulness, A Mighty Fortress is Our God

  36. Marlene says

    August 26, 2019 at 9:37 am

    Hold Fast to the Right
    Cling to the Bible
    We’ll Work til Jesus Comes

    Great list! Thrre could be 50 or 100 right? Thanks. I am inspired to sing for Christ while I tend to my boys today.

  37. Kori says

    August 26, 2019 at 8:33 am

    We are a Lutheran family so we sing several of these throughout the year. I’d also add Beautiful Savior and I Love to Tell The Story

  38. Chris says

    August 26, 2019 at 12:54 am

    I don’t know all of these, some I love some I don’t care for. I do love some of the new hymns, Elevation has a great one called Resurrecting. Another favorite right now, which isn’t a hymn but speaks Scriptire is A Reason to Dance by All Nations Worship in Atlanta. There’s nothing like singing scripture!

  39. Christofer Coakley says

    April 9, 2019 at 9:01 pm

    Great list! My favorite is missing: Little Brown Church in the Vale (or Church in the Wildwood)

  40. Kathie says

    February 23, 2019 at 11:57 am

    I love this! What a great testimony!

  41. Frank says

    February 21, 2019 at 5:58 pm

    I didn’t grow up Christian either. I started listening to hymns shortly after I converted, and after a few years, I came to know over a hundred by heart, including most of these—plus as many short Sunday School songs. I got started because I heard that the Beatles influenced the world toward wickedness, and thought, “If music with wicked lyrics can influence us to be bad, why can’t hymns influence us to be better Christians?” I went straight for the classic hymns, because they were written in a more Christian culture and have stood the test of time. They have been so helpful.

  42. Anna says

    September 30, 2018 at 12:39 pm

    Thank you for the list! …During Bible class this year I’ve been trying to teach my kiddos a hymn to go with each part we study …we have done 10000 angels (when studying the crucifiction) and then Up From the Grave He Arose when we studied the resurrection…now I am looking for hymn number 3 and found some helpful ideas on this list…
    My altimeter favorite hymn though is “Tell me the Story of Jesus”

  43. Heidi says

    May 28, 2018 at 1:34 pm

    Some of mine and my children’s favorites currently:
    Lord of sea and sky
    What a friend we have in Jesus
    For the beauty of the Earth
    His eye is on the sparrow

  44. Kathie says

    I love the idea of singing hymns to call your babies! And to have your 4 year old asking for Holy Holy Holy is awesome!

  47. Laura says

    March 12, 2018 at 12:27 am

    I always as sang hymns to my 2 girls to calm them when they were babies, and to this day my 4 year old asks to sing Holy Holy Holy multiple times a day!😊 there are some new ones on this list I want to learn with them!

  48. Kathie says

    March 8, 2018 at 4:51 pm

    Thanks Gale! Many of them are my favorites too.

    July 24, 2017 at 8:50 am

    HI Amy! Yes, there is something about those songs/hymns that we knew in our childhood! I’m glad you are sharing yours with your kids. These old songs and hymns hold great truths, and really do speak to the heart.

  51. Amy says

    July 24, 2017 at 2:26 am

    I grew up Catholic, so have a slightly different pool of hymns to choose from. I like some of these and don’t recognize a few. Some of my favourites include the Servant Song, Here I am Lord, Be not Afraid, Make Me a Channel of Your Piece, The Our Father (sung), the Hail Mary (sung), Gather Us In…..OK I could go on quite a while! I have a Gather hynmnal and love Marty Haugen. I grew up in the US and now live in the UK. And as I was finding a church to attend I must admit one of thie things that I miss is the music of my youth. They just sing different things here. I have been introduced to lots of lovely songs like Jerusalem, We plough the fields and scatter, and all sorts. But in my tough times it is my childhood hymns which help me the most. I have been inspired lately to share more and more of them with the kids. Thanks for your post.

  52. Kathie says

    May 3, 2017 at 9:09 pm

    Hi Rebekah! Wow, that is amazing that the hymns had such power over those demons! I know that hymns really do affect my spirit in a positive way though,so that makes sense! Those are great ones that you added to the list! (Can’t believe that I didn’t include Power in The Blood!)

  53. Rebekah says

    May 3, 2017 at 4:35 pm

    This is a wonderful list! I grew up singing hymns with my mother, and some of my favorite memories of my growing-up years are of singing hymns together as a family. Later, when I was volunteering at a missionary orphanage overseas and helping care for a demon-possessed girl, I witnessed firsthand the power of the hymns. The demon screamed when we sang hymns. Some of the ones he hated most you have on this list (Power in the Blood, A Mighty Fortress, Amazing Grace, and And Can It Be). There are three others I would add to this list: Jesus Loves Me, I Surrender All, and Have Thine Own Way. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and this list! You have blessed my heart today.

  54. Kathie says

    March 15, 2017 at 10:36 am

    Glad you like the list! You are doing well to know half of them with not growing up in a Christina home. 🙂

  55. Nadinr says

    March 15, 2017 at 1:05 am

    Great list!!! I didn’t grow up Christian so I only know what I’ve learned as an adult. I know and love about 1/2 of these
    Hymns. Excited to check the other ones out. Thanks for sharing 🙂
