spiritual song
Devotional musical piece
A spiritual song is a religious folk song, particularly one originating from African American communities during slavery.
The term appears in the New Testament—"psalms and hymns and spiritual songs"—but in American usage it typically means the same as spiritual: devotional music blending African musical traditions with Christian themes.
