hymn singing
Church choir activity
Hymn singing is the practice of singing hymns, especially as congregational worship in Christian churches.
The term often evokes traditional Protestant services where the congregation joins together on familiar religious songs: The old church was known for its hymn singing.
It can also refer to informal gatherings centered on this activity: Sunday evenings meant hymn singing around the piano.
