The tune associated with a given hymn can change based on the meter. Hymns do not always have a meter of 8. There are an infinite variety of meters for hymns. Those hymns that have the same meter can sometimes use tunes associated with other hymns of the same meter, but discretion must be used as all tunes do not fit well with all texts that share the same meter.

Christmas Songs Popular Christmas songs are specifically about Christmas, but are typically not overtly religious and therefore do not qualify as Christmas carols, but rather Christmas songs.
Christmas Hymns A hymn is a type of song, usually religious, specifically written for the purpose of praise, adoration or prayer; and in the Christian tradition typically addressed to God. Christmas Carols A Christmas carol is a song in which a religious topic is treated in a style that is familiar or festive. Christmas carols are traditional without a specific religious context. A Christmas carol has lyrics about Christmas themes or the winter season which are traditionally sung in the period before Christmas.
So whether you call it a Christmas song, a Christmas hymn, or a Christian carol, sing to the glory of God during the season leading up to the celebration of the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ. Margaret Minnicks has been a licensed minister since and an ordained minister of Christian education since In there was published at Dudley in the West Midlands a valuable collection of traditional words entitled A Good Christmas Box , in which the anonymous editor preserved a number of folk carols still being sung in that area.
In they published 12 Carols for Eastertide , in the preface to which Neale wrote:. In the same year he also published twelve Easter Carols.
Of these, 28 had traditional words and 10 were from foreign sources, mainly southern European, in translations by Bramley. There were also texts by earlier English authors. The rest, nearly half, were by contemporary writers.
There were 22 traditional tunes and 5 from foreign sources, with the rest by living writers. Chope used very little traditional material, so the contents of these books were for the most part from contemporary writers and composers, little of which commends itself for use today.
Writing at this point, presumably not long before his death in , Thomas Helmore, in his long article on Carols for JJ , expressed satisfaction at the revival of interest in carols from the past and that poets and composers were adding to the store of material. In his Appendix, Julian noted that in recent years carols had been produced in great number, and listed some of the publications.
No awareness was shown, however, of the revolution in understanding of traditional music that was by then taking place. Sharp had been collecting folk songs by then for four years, and had already notated tunes, many of which were carols.
From this time, traditional carols increasingly set the standard for carol composition, although for at least half a century the Victorian compositions continued to be sung, largely through the continuing widespread use of the Bramley and Stainer edition. He introduced interesting items from early German, Dutch and English sources, and provided translations himself, as well as original texts.
These tended to use archaic expressions and have not worn well. The Oxford Book of Carols was a fine, authoritative collection. Its five sections covered the possible combinations of words and music:. The editors did not reject the synthetic carol, but they clearly gave the main weight to the traditional carols. The book appeared too early to do full justice to the medieval carols, and the three that were included needed to be newly edited when the book was reset in slightly larger format in For that edition the original words of many of the translated carols were given.
OBC had a vigorous page preface by Percy Dearmer which is still the best short introduction to the carol in general and the English Carol in particular: the notes on the individual carols are a mine of information. The editors were very critical of the Victorian arrangers, especially Stainer, but their own versions now seem dated, and many musicians have returned to the 19th-century arrangements.
Two other important editors were at work at the same period. The best material from these two sources was brought together by Erik Routley to be the core of the useful University Carol Book Brighton, This draws on different sources from those represented in OBC.
While no particular policy has been declared, the movement in the other direction has been the arranging of carols for skilled choirs. There has been a tendency for these arrangements, particularly those in Carols for Choirs 1, to have become accepted as the standard versions for current use. While making highly attractive choral pieces, these arrangements do withdraw from ordinary people the possibility of participating in the music, moving it into the realm of music for listening only.
