The Bible and Music

Today we discussed some of the distinctions between hymns and different types of music.
Google said a hymn is a religious song typically of praise to God.

While most songs are desired for personal pleasure and enjoyment, hymns also have the purpose of communal singing, for example in a church. Also a distinguishing instrument that is usually in most hymns is the organ. When I think of hymns I think of slower tempo songs that are sang together in church in unison. There are no separate parts between the choir and the audience. It is everyone singing the same verse at the same time. Hymns are designed for the purpose of worship settings.

Examples of Hymns discussed:

Great is Thy Faithfulness (most familiar to me)

Thou My Vision
