Links and Resources
This resources page includes links to samples of all the songs, poems, and more that you'll find in the Meaningful Menus Volumes. YouTube lyrics don't always perfectly match the printed lyrics, but we do our best to find versions that are as close to possible as ours.
This page is a work in progress and more links will be added as they’re available.
Each Set of Volumes is meant to last approximately one school year if changing them out every 6 weeks.
Hymns (Christian Volumes Only)
- Crown Him with Many Crowns (Volume 1)
- In the Garden (Volume 2)
- What Wondrous Love Is This (Volume 3)
- Be Thou My Vision (Volume 4) This is our favorite version to sing along with. It's a guitar tutorial, but he sings from 1:17-4:50
- All Creatures of Our God and King (Volume 5) We also love the Getty Kids version found here but chose the first one since it lines up with the lyrics. Don’t feel like you have to sing every verse! It’s a fast paced song, though, so it doesn’t drag on.
- How Great Thou Art (Volume 6)
- Jesus Shall Reign (Volume 7)
