Hymnals

A hymnal is a published book that compiles a collection of hymns—songs of praise and worship often used in religious services. It typically includes musical notes, lyrics, and sometimes additional information like the history or context of each hymn. Hymnals serve as a communal resource, guiding congregations in singing during worship, rites, and special ceremonies. They help maintain consistency in worship traditions and foster a sense of unity through shared music and lyrics. Different denominations or faith communities may have their own hymnals, reflecting their specific theological themes and musical styles.
