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.
Do
your children know these words? No doubt they’ve sung them at church.
Do they know anything of the man who wrote them? His name was Thomas
Ken, who lived in the years 1637-1711. This would be a nice homeschool
research paper for them, as well as Christian History project: Let them
find out all they can about this man and his musical contributions to
the Church. Let them study his childhood and his later trials in the
time in which he lived in England. Let them learn about this unsung
hero. I think they’ll benefit.
