About This Title Copying the Hymns is a series of copywork books focused on developing Christian devotion through reflection upon the great hymns of the faith, and related scriptures. Available in a wide range of penmanship styles and progressive levels, each book draws from a classic hymn and scripture to develop a strong spiritual foundation while practicing printing and handwriting skills. Copying the Hymns: All Things Bright and Beautiful ZB C uses All Things Bright and Beautiful written by Cecil F. Alexander in 1848 as its hymn selection. Alexander wrote the lyrics in Ireland, as part of Hymns for Little Children, and this well-loved song has been set to a variety of tunes since that time. Our ZB C titles feature models using both the traditional Zaner-Bloser manuscript font, and the Zaner-Blosser style cursive font with small 5/16 characters, and copywork models without lines that retain more of the original formatting features. This level is appropriate for experienced copyists who are comfortable working from a model of several sentences and copying onto a separate sheet of paper. ZB C About This Title 5
How to Use This Book This copywork book is a stand-alone title and includes the entire hymn All Things Bright and Beautiful. This enduring hymn has long been a favorite of children, and encourages joyful celebration of God s role as sovereign creator over this world. Copywork lesson 1 is an opening Bible passage that reveals God s creation of the heaven and earth. Lesson 15 provides a closing scripture passage that shares God s pleasure in His new creation at the end of His six days of labor. These lessons make excellent topical memory verses that can be committed to memory during the course of the book. These two Bible verses serve as bookends to the copywork lessons (2 14) that include the full lyrics of All Things Bright and Beautiful alternating with corresponding Bible verses that illuminate deeper themes and spiritual symbology. Two quick reference charts (one manuscript, one cursive) with numbers and arrows are provided for upper case, lower case, and numerals for children to use as they work on their lessons. Simply print this out and have them available for children to glance at as needed to refresh their memories. ZB C How to Use This Book 6
The title page (page 10) can be used as a notebook cover for the copywork lessons. Blank template pages with traditional-style lines in three sizes and a blank drawing form are provided in the appendix. To glean the most devotional benefit from this copywork study, reading the included Bible verses in their larger context (verses prior to and following the selected passage) is incredibly rewarding. Verbally prompt your children to draw connections between the Bible verses shared, and this well-known hymn, as well as the underlying doctrinal truths that are woven into the hymn s themes. These discussions are invaluable and will help to form connections between scriptural truths and favorite hymns. Singing the hymn, or listening to a recording of it, before, after, and during the copywork lessons will add additional depth to the study. The full lyrics of the hymn are provided along with simplified sheet music and a downloadable midi file for playing or singing along with. ZB C How to Use This Book 7
