	Hymnology: What is a hymn?
		A Christian hymn is a lyric poem, reverently and devotionally conceived, which is designed to be sung and which expresses the worshipper's attitude toward God, or God's purposes in human life.
		It was the poet, Alfred Lord Tennyson who said, “A good hymn is the most difficult thing in the world to write.” This statement highlights the nature of the hymn as one of the most rigorously limited types of literature.
		Therefore, in the final analysis, the hymn represents a unique form of literary art, sustaining a relationship to poetry somewhat akin to that of prayer to prose.

		A favorite example of mine is Blur's 13, which I've always heard as three "movements," for lack of a better term: the first third is boisterous and direct, the middle third is weird and obscure, and the final third is something of a meeting of the two, a sort of reconciliation of extremes.
