A Hymn is a song specifically written as a song of praise or adoration. Usually, hymns are directed toward God, although Homer was known to write some as well. A writer of hymns is known as a hymnist, and the process of singing a hymn is called hymnody.
Some hymnists and their more well known hymns are:
- John Newton : Amazing Grace
- Ira A. Sankey : There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood
