Hymn

A hymn is a type of song, usually religious, specifically written for the purpose of adoration or prayer, and typically addressed to a deity or deities, or to a prominent figure or personification. The word hymn derives from Greek ὕμνος (hymnos), which means "a song of praise". The singing of hymns is called hymnody. Collections of hymns are known as hymnals or hymn books. Hymns may or may not include instrumental accompaniment.

Although most familiar to speakers of English in the context of Christian churches, hymns are also a fixture of other world religions, especially on the Indian subcontinent. Hymns also survive from antiquity, especially from Egyptian and Greek cultures. Some of the oldest surviving examples of notated music are hymns with Greek texts.

Origins

Ancient hymns include the Egyptian Great Hymn to the Aten, composed by Pharaoh Akhenaten; the Vedas, a collection of hymns in the tradition of Hinduism; and the Psalms, a collection of songs from Judaism. The Western tradition of hymnody begins with the Homeric Hymns, a collection of ancient Greek hymns, the oldest of which were written in the 7th century BC, praising deities of the ancient Greek religions. Surviving from the 3rd century BC is a collection of six literary hymns (Ὕμνοι) by the Alexandrian poet Callimachus.

HYMN
Barclay James Harvest
1977
Valley's deep and the mountains so high, if you want to
See God you've got to move to the other side.
You stand up there with your head in the clouds, don't try
To fly you know you might not come down.
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down.
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The People said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The People said it was a virgin birth
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
For this they/we killed him,
Nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended intop the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly.
Valley's deep and the mountains so high, if you want to
See God you've got to move to the other side.
You stand up there with your head in the clouds, don't try
To fly you know you might not come down.
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down.
