We sing hymns every Sunday, and hopefully throughout our daily lives. But, what actually is a hymn? Is it just a fancy word for song? Hear this delightful conversation about the purpose of hymnody, where we find scriptural basis for singing hymns in worship services, how we use hymns in the life of the congregation, how music and text work together in hymnody, and what makes our Lutheran hymnody so unique and wonderful.
Rev. Dr. Jon Vieker, Senior Assistant to the President of the LCMS and Former Assistant Director for LCMS Commission on Worship, joins host Rev. Sean Smith to discuss why concord matters for Lutheran hymnody.
