Session Description
Hymns teach people something. They tell us something about God, part of His character or qualities that are meaningful to us. Part of it is due to familiarity, the next generation might go back to praise songs because that's what is familiar. Sometimes with prayer songs, we say that they're repetitive, but there is something about a praise song that's simple in that it is easy and memorizable.

Hymns Within the New Testament and Worship Today
Hymns teach people something. They tell us something about God, part of His character or qualities that are meaningful to us. Part of it is due to familiarity, the next generation might go back to praise songs because that's what is familiar. Sometimes with prayer songs, we say that they're repetitive, but there is something about a praise song that's simple in that it is easy and memorizable.
