Hymns

/hɪmz/ noun

Definition

Religious songs of praise, usually sung in churches or religious ceremonies to honor or worship God.

Etymology

From Latin 'hymnus,' which came from Greek 'hymnos' (song of praise). Hymns have been part of religious worship for over 2,000 years.

Kelly Says

Some of the most famous hymns like 'Amazing Grace' and 'Silent Night' are hundreds of years old, and even though their lyrics are religious, their melodies are so universal that many cultures have adapted them into their own languages!
