Christian hymns
Sacred congregational music
Christian hymns are religious songs of praise or devotion sung in Christian worship services.
They typically feature verses set to music, often with congregational participation: The choir led the congregation in singing traditional hymns.
Hymns range from ancient chants to modern compositions, forming a core element of Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox liturgical traditions.
