Hymns are written to be sung by a congregation, so the melody has to be simple, steady and easy to follow — exactly what a beginner wants from a piece. They also teach the 3/4 waltz pulse and the wide, open leaps that nursery rhymes never ask for. Amazing Grace is the classic first hymn on this shelf.
