Hymns We Love is a series of short talks based around well-loved, traditional hymns and is a great way to explore the Christian faith.
It’s an opportunity to sing and enjoy the beautiful lyrics, whilst exploring the meaning of the words.
You can listen to the series here, or call the Daily Hope free phone line – selecting option 1 – where a new hymn is explored each day.
