• Holiday hymns include 8 Christmas carols and 2 Advent hymns, plus Lent, Palm Sunday, and Easter hymns.
• Hymns featured in film scores serve the same purpose as songs of worship in church services: to gain insight and context into the story and its characters (or connect the believer to the biblical sermon).
