Praise song
A
praise song is a song of praise to
God in the traditions of certain
Christian churches. Although the more commonly used term
hymn is synonymous with
praise song, within certain modern Christian musical traditions, especially in many
Baptist churches, a distinction is made between the two. This distinction is not perfectly clear; however it is a matter of much debate, even sometimes within a single congregation, between revivalist and
traditionalist movements. When a distinction is made,
hymn usually refers to a traditional song (such as the hymns of the
Lutherans, whereas
praise song refers to a more contemporary song.
