Abstract
The main purpose of this study was concerned with the relationship of hymns to services in the church. The author sought to answer the question, "What are the hymns that should be used for a certain service in the Church Year?” This would have to be explained from both a theological and musical viewpoint. In order to answer this question, it was necessary to include four minor areas of study (1) the history and use or hymns and hymn tunes, {2) the history and use of the Liturgical Year, (3) the elements that determine a good hymn and (4) the emotional responses to hymns.
