Hymns to Sing at a Bedside

When someone is very ill or near the end of life, a familiar hymn can say what is hard to say. Hymns learned long ago often stay with people even when other words are hard to find, and some people sing along.

These are hymns people often ask for at a bedside. Sing slowly, one verse at a time, or read the words aloud. You do not need to sing well.
