Frank, Cameron; Norman, Preston; and Drake, Nathan. Hymns of the Father: The Trinity Project Volume 1 (Published in 2021 by A Frank Voice Publishing). I love hymns. And I love studying the history, background, meaning, and application of hymns. This book is a 28-day devotional journey through a look at twenty hymns. Each week is structured to take the reader through a specific element of the Father’s character and reflect on Him—Creation, Grace, Faithfulness, and Worship, with the week having five days of hymns (lyrics of hymn, history behind it, devotional, Scripture reading, and response/questions), one day of reflection based on the week’s theme (a devotion, Scripture reading, and response/questions), then one day of prayer (a written prayer focusing on the reflection of the past week).
Most of the hymns are quite familiar to everyone, such as “This Is My Father’s World,” “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” “and Holy Holy Holy;” a few might be a little less well known to some, like “Here Is Love Vast as the Ocean.” Hymns of the Father is designed to spend four weeks experiencing the presence and person of God the Father through a musical journey of timeless hymns that begins at creation and ends in our response of worship. One can go deeper than the hymnal to learn the inspiring and encouraging stories behind the hymns and connect the words of the hymns to Scripture in a unique and thought-provoking way. Volume 2, Hymns of the Son, reflects on Jesus through hymns focused on salvation, sacrifice, sanctification, and communion with Christ. And Volume 3, Hymns of the Spirit, points out that the Spirit is our source of daily comfort, guidance, and purification, and that through the Spirit we worship.
