Quotes About Hymns

Hymns as memory, craft, and quiet devotion.

These lines describe hymns as both stage repertoire and private practice, sung in arenas and amusement parks and returned to quietly at the piano. One even traces the word back to an ancient collection gathered in the Psalms. For more on how musicians describe their craft, see Sparks.

I do a medley of hymns in all of my sets, whether I'm in an arena, in a theater, in an amusement park.

Quotes by Yolanda Adams

The Psalms, the anthology of the hymns of Israel, are still used by Christians.

Quotes by Kenneth Scott Latourette

It's part of what I do at my piano - the hymns. And then I write.

Quotes by Jessi Colter
