THE TWO (2) TYPES OF HYMNS BY "THE SOLO HYMNER"

A Solo hymner learns how to sing hymns, “verse by verse” including chorus or refrain. So therefore a “Solo Hymner” must complete the learning of a particular “hymn verse”  before proceeding to another “hymn verse” accordingly. The more the hymn verses, the more work to be done by the hymner and vise versa. So far the average hymn verses ranges from 2 – 5 and the stanzas of hymn verses ranges from 4 – 10, with or without chorus or refrain. Since hymns contain short and long verses, we can then say that there are two types of hymns; Short and Long hymns respectively.

SHORT HYMNS

Short hymns are hymns that contain short verses or stanzas with or without a chorus or refrain. A short hymn normally ranges from at least “2 Verses” up to “3 Verses”. When a hymn lyric contain “3 Verses” and a chorus or refrain with at least “4 stanza”, then that hymn can no more be a short hymn. Also, when a hymn has “3 Verses” but the stanzas of the verses are at least 8 or more, then that hymn can no longer be a short hymn. Examples: Captain of Israel Host, Lord thy word abideth, Take my life and let it be, Jesus shall rain where're the sun, O for a thousand tongues to sing etc.

LONG HYMNS

Long hymns are hymns that contain more verses or stanzas with or without a chorus or refrain. A Long hymn normally ranges from at least “4 Verses” and at most “5 Verses” or beyond. Example : When we walk with the Lord, Now the Laborer Task Is over, Master speak thy servant heareth, I need thee every hour, To God be the glory, Blessed Assurance etc.

Here, the need for a “Solo Hymner” is to minster or perform hymns (especially In English language) with no reference to a “Hymn book” or “Program Sheet” and thereby coveting the blessings of God for that particular occasion to be successful.
