HYMNS

Hymns are so important in our church for many reasons, but the most important reason is the connection to God while worshipping him.

  • Praise: Hymns are a way to praise God, and they are an everlasting means of doing so. 

  • Theology: Hymns are a form of theology in tune, with theological depth, dogmatic meanings, and biblical evidence. 

  • Connection with God: Hymns allow believers to converse with God through their feelings and emotions, and to share in what God offers them in the sacraments. 

  • Equality: Hymn-singing allows all Christians to sing on an equal footing. 

  • Preparation: Hymns prepare believers for partaking in the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, and for entering the Kingdom of Heaven. 

  • Exhortation: Hymns exhort one another to praise God. 

  • Unity: Hymns unite the heads and hearts of believers.
