worship hymns

Church congregation singing

Worship hymns are religious songs of praise and devotion, typically sung congregationally in Christian services.

The term emphasizes their function—active praise rather than passive listening: The worship hymns went on for twenty minutes before the sermon.

Distinguished from traditional hymns by contemporary musical styles, they often feature repetitive, emotionally expressive lyrics designed to create an atmosphere of spiritual intimacy.
