I am trying to teach some Sign Language to a few people in my church. They are wanting to learn how to sign a hymn. This is good because they will learn how hymns in ASL are more clear and beautiful than in English. The problem is I do not know ASL. In order to give them an example of how ASL hymns do not match the words in the book, I picked the hymn "Come Follow Me".

Would it be correct to tell them the first verse is signed like this:

Savior say “Come follow me
Come we will follow His walk
This only way we can unite
with God His dear Son

(and tell them the first quotes are signed).
 
Maybe a stupid question - but -

If you do not know ASL, and are not a signer, how and why would you attempt to teach sign language?

:eek3:
