Sunday school songs

Church kids' tunes

Sunday school songs are simple religious songs taught to children in Christian education settings.

The melodies are easy to learn and the lyrics convey basic spiritual concepts: We sang "Jesus Loves Me" and other Sunday school songs.

Many carry nostalgic associations for adults who learned them young.

The genre emphasizes participation over musical sophistication, often incorporating hand motions or call-and-response.
