“Heritage Hymns” is a curated collection of multicultural hymnal studies born of my desire to expand the traditional offering of resources for my family and yours. Listening to a variety of song versions across weeks, months, and years of hymn study is a wonderful gift to our children. It teaches them to appreciate the way others worship, even if it’s different than what they’re used to hearing, and it bonds believers through the words and their meaning rather than the notes and how they’re sung.
When we first began intentionally studying hymns, I found that many of the resources designed to help families incorporate hymns into their days tended to feature only one type of music. The lyrics were often familiar to me, but the style of singing was not what I’d grown up hearing. I liked the traditional versions, but my extended family tends to sing hymns in a more soulful way that really resonates with me. I missed that worship style and wanted my kids to enjoy different expressions of the hymns we were learning.
I soon began exposing them to many versions of each hymn so that beauty would not be prescribed to them and so they would intimately know and love the musicality of the generations that came before us. It has been enriching for my family, and I’m excited to share the process with you.
What’s included in Heritage Hymns (Part I & II have the same format, but they contain entirely different song selections):
- 50+ beautifully designed pages of content to give your family a one-of-a-kind multicultural experience through both the style of singing and the background of the singers
- Full resources for learning and enjoying 15 hymns with links to audio or video for multiple versions of
each hymn including traditional, soulful, contemporary, country, Celtic, instrumental, etc. (genres vary by hymn) - Brief background information along with a link for additional info if your family would like to learn more
- Sheet music for each hymn (includes lyrics)
- Traditional lyrics provided on separate aesthetically pleasing pages for ease of printing and use for singing, copywork, dictation, or recitation, if desired.
- Sample quick-start schedule
- An online spreadsheet of easy links for the entire guide, to be saved for quick access when using a printed version. Includes future updates to broken links, as needed.
What if one of the links is broken? Occasionally, one of the video links may change or a video may be taken down. When you encounter issues, check the link in the PDF that takes you to the online spreadsheet mentioned above. It says “Heritage Hymns Links” (page 6). That is where I post updated links and any other necessary updates for Heritage Hymns. If you check that page and the broken link has not been updated, please email me at heritagemomblog@gmail.com, and I will provide a replacement link to you via email and post it on the spreadsheet for others.
Please note: My family is part of a non-denominational, Bible-following, Jesus-loving congregation. These hymns were not chosen because of our connection to or preference for any single denomination. They are the hymns I grew up hearing and those that have become family favorites since I began singing hymns with my children.
I invite you to join my family in singing and appreciating different versions of our favorite hymns with the belief that individual expressions of our shared faith are to be appreciated and celebrated!

So excited to use this hymn study. I love the links to multiple versions of each hymn. So good in learning about other cultures/ ways of worshipping that remain Biblical and honoring while fitting with different styles of worship.

Perfect addition to our homeschooling day.
Amber, you did it again!!! We love this hymn study and I have recommended it numerous times to friends. It is not only beautifully done it is full of useful information and the links are such an added bonus that we enjoy listening to. Thank you for doing all the leg work so that we can study hymns so easily.
Excellent Resource
I am very impressed with this resource that enables me to offer a wider variety of cultural experiences to my children via Hymn Study.
Great Resource
Beautiful. And the hard work is done for me. A great resource when teaching hymns during morning time.
Beautiful Collection & Design
Worth every penny and very rich! You won’t regret this resource!
Love the diversity
I love how there are links to various styles of each song. This is an excellent resource that I am sure we will use for music lessons as well.
Even better than I had hoped
This series is comprehensive without the overwhelm.

As a mom who loves beautiful things, the composition of the lesson is lovely. As a mom who wants rich content for our kids, the variety of the hymns saved me time searching the internet for a truly multicultural selection.

We could really go anywhere with this collection. I’m so grateful for this study!
Great Resource
I purchased this collection to go along with Redeemed Reader’s summer reading program. It is a great resource. It is so nice to have the links, music, and backstory in one place. It is beautiful and easy to use.
Loving the ease and variety
This was just what I was looking for to add our homeschool as we incorporate different hymns. I love seeing all the different musical expressions of hymns. Made even better with easy links and beautiful printables!
Just what I was looking for!
We’ve been doing a hymn a month in our homeschool but hadn’t dug into the stories behind the psalms. This multicultural hymn study is beautifully put together. I loved that it included multiple versions of each hymn, lyrics and background notes, not to mention lead sheets perfect for our oldest, who is learning to play piano. Thanks, Heritage Mom!
Wonderful Resource
This really has everything you need for studying hymns with your kids. The links and variety are excellent. Easy to use and a wonderful way to get a variety of styles.
This hymn study looks great!
I’ve just printed off this study and I’m so excited. I’ve been studying hymns with my boys for a while and this hymn pack is going to save me so much time. I’m excited to have the history of each hymn at my fingertips and also to have links for culturally diverse expressions of the hymns so that I don’t have to spend time searching them out ahead of time. Thank you Amber for making hymn study so rich and easy!
Lovely Hymn Study
This is a beautiful collection of hymns to study. The lyrics pages and sheet music can be easily printed to display and have as a quick grab & go for learning. I love that she included links to be able to easily click on and listen/watch a variety of different genres for each hymn. While I don’t agree with some of the theology that some of the artists support (which is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars), it’s still nice to listen to the diverse collection of varieties of music. There was obviously a lot of work put into this study and it’s sure to bless many people!
Beautiful pack
This curriculum pack is beautiful! I can’t wait to use it!
Beautiful Hymnal Study... LOVE LOVE LOVE this!
For anyone interested in adding a rich hymnal study to your curriculum, you’ve got to grab copy of, “Heritage Hymns.” With this hymnal study, every page is thoughtfully designed, all the hymn’s are beautifully arranged, and the entire curriculum so well thought out! This is such a wonderful addition to our studies at home. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Beautiful Hymn Resource
I have already printed out the study and am ready to begin using it tomorrow! It is very lovely and seems very easy to implement. There is a brief note at the beginning about how you can use it that I found very helpful as we have never done hymn study before. I can’t do complicated and this looks perfect for our family! Thank you Heritage Mom!
Perfect for our family!
I am very excited about this for our family! We have sung hymns together casually, but have never actually done a hymn study. I love how HeritageMom has taken the time to create a multi-cultural guide (with lots of links!) to help us dive deeper, and praise God in more than just one style. The design/layout is also aesthetically pleasing.
New Inspiration from Classics
Lovely resource which will last us a few years. Can’t wait to explore with my kids the different interpretations of the same hymn. It has always amazed me that people from across the time spectrum -centuries ago- feel the same way along their pilgrimage as I do. This approach is bringing new life to the classics. Pretty copy-work pages and sheet music with scriptural references. +++
Excellent Resource
I was amazed at everything that came in this download for such a low price. The variety of styles for each of the hymns is exactly what I was looking for as we begin our hymn studies.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for putting together this collection! Exactly what our family needs. Blessings!
