Throughout the world, hymns have been an integral part of Christian worship for many centuries. As far back as the end of the 4th Century, Augustine had defined what a hymn should be - "A hymn is a song containing praise of God. If you praise God, but without a song, you do not have a hymn. If you praise anything which does not pertain to the glory of God, even if you sing it, you do not have a hymn. Hence, a hymn contains these three elements - song and praise of God." |
