Hymn Metre
A hymn metre (''US:'' meter) indicates the number of syllables for the lines in each stanza of a hymn. This provides a means of marrying the hymn's text with an appropriate hymn tune for singing. Hymn and poetic metre In the English language poetic metres and hymn metres have different starting points but there is nevertheless much overlap. The hymn ''Amazing Grace'' is used as an example: :Amazing grace, how sweet the sound :that saved a wretch like me. :I once was lost, but now am found, :was blind, but now I see. Analyzing this, a poet would see couplets with four iambic metrical feet in the first and third lines, and three in the second and fourth. A musician would more likely count eight syllables in the first line and six in the second. This would be described as 8.6.8.6 (or 86.86). The words of ''Amazing Grace'' can therefore be set to any tune that has the 8.6.8.6 metre, for example ''The House of the Rising Sun''. Conventionally most hymns in this 86.86 pattern are iam ...
