And scripture as well. And top of each page mentioned the scripture verse behind the hymn. Told my students every year: which is easier to learn? a speech or a poem. Responded they: a poem. Which is easier to learn, a poem or a song? A song. Because when you marry rhythm to melody, you make the memory much stronger. And easier.

EXACTLY - do you know of the Christian singer, STEVE GREEN, ViaVeritas? Steve developed an entire series of CD's back in the early 1990's called "Hide 'Em In Your Heart" - aimed at young people - and the songs were ALL Scripture!! I hope they're still in circulation!! I'll check and direct you to them, in case you still have an audience of young people!
