traditional hymn
Old worship song
A traditional hymn is a religious song with established verses and melody, typically sung congregationally in Christian worship services.
The term distinguishes older, familiar hymns—often centuries old—from contemporary worship music: The choir opened with a traditional hymn before the modern praise songs.
Traditional hymns tend toward formal language, theological depth, and four-part harmony.
