HYMN - H>@ - a religious song or psalm. kjv@Ephesians:5:19; kjv@Colossians:3:16) Our Lord and his apostles sung a hymn after the last supper. In the jail at Philippi, Paul and Silas "sang hymns" (Authorized Version "praises") unto God, and so loud was their song that their fellow prisoners heard them.

Hymn @ occurs only kjv@Ephesians:5:19 and kjv@Colossians:3:16. The verb to "sing an hymn" occurs kjv@Matthew:26:30 and kjv@Mark:14:26. The same Greek word is rendered to "sing praises" kjv@Acts:16:25 (R.V., "sing hymns") and kjv@Hebrews:2:12. The "hymn" which our Lord sang with his disciples at the last Supper is generally supposed to have been the latter part of the Hallel, comprehending kjv@Psalms:113-118. It was thus a name given to a number of psalms taken together and forming a devotional exercise. The noun hymn is used only with reference to the services of the Greeks, and was distinguished from the psalm. The Greek tunes required Greek hymns. Our information regarding the hymnology of the early Christians is very limited.
