As I mentioned yesterday, we sing a hymn during our worship time everyday. We then go over vocabulary that may not be familiar, especially to the younger kids. For today’s Lenten Journey I thought I would define some of the more “theological” terms and phrases from the hymn Come to Calvary’s Holy Mountain that other’s may not be familiar with.
- contrition – sincere repentance or remorse
- remission – pardon; forgiveness, as of sins or offenses.
- “defiled without, within” – dirty or unclean in every part
- “live forever” – Eternal life in Heaven

My guys have learned some of their most impressive vocabulary words through religious education, church, and hymns.
ReplyDeleteA great way to break down the hymns.....explaining unknown words.
ReplyDeleteOur daughter asks what words mean, I never thought until now that I could be proactive and not wait for her to ask.
