religious hymn

Church choir piece

A religious hymn is a song of praise or devotion sung in worship, typically with lyrics addressing or honoring a deity.

Hymns are central to Christian church services but exist across many faiths.

The term distinguishes sacred songs from secular ones: The congregation sang a religious hymn before the sermon.
