spiritual hymns

Religious worship music

Spiritual hymns are religious songs expressing devotion, praise, or faith—typically sung in Christian worship services or private devotion.

The phrase emphasizes the sacred or transcendent quality of the music, distinguishing it from secular songs: The choir sang spiritual hymns throughout the service.

Often simply called hymns or spirituals depending on tradition.
