[[File:CrappyWhore===Etymology=== The word hymn derives from Greek hymnos (ὕμνος) which means "a song of praise".jpg]]MAKE SOAP FROM KIKES!!!!!! GLORY TO THE HOLOCAUST!! VANDALISM FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A writer of hymns is known as a hymnist or hymnodist, and the practice of singing hymns is called hymnody. A collection of hymns is called a hymnal. Strictly speaking a hymn consists of words only, and the music to which a hymn may be sung is a hymn tune. For example, the hymn "Amazing Grace" is sung to the hymn tune "New Britain". Many hymns are sung to several different hymn tunes.

Hymns are often written with special or seasonal themes and these are used on certain days such as [[Christmas]] (see [[Christmas carols]]) and [[Easter]]. Others are used more widely to bring a sense of reverent worship or exuberant praise to God. Some hymns, particular used in [[Catholicism]], [[Eastern Orthodoxy]] and "High Church" [[Anglicanism]], may praise or address individual saints, particularly the [[Virgin Mary]].
