Protestant hymns

Reformed worship music

Protestant hymns are religious songs sung in Protestant Christian worship, distinct from Catholic liturgical music in their emphasis on congregational participation and vernacular language.

The Reformation produced traditions ranging from Lutheran chorales to Methodist and Baptist hymnody.

We grew up singing Protestant hymns like "Amazing Grace" and "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God."
