A hymn has two parts - the text and the music.
Hymn tunes have their own names, which appears in all capitals.
Below we have O Come, All Ye Faithful and just under the title is the tune name ADESTE FIDELES.
Why should a tune have its own name?
A few hymns, like O Come All Ye Faithful, are tied forever to a tune.
The tune HYFRODOL serves many different texts - Alleluia, Sing to Jesus is just one of many.
This collections lists the music by the TUNE name to make it easy to find the right music to play for the hymn you are going to be singing.
What are the numbers that appear often with the tune name?
If a hymn text is appropriate for use at services but the people are not familiar with the tune, there is an easy way to search for an alternate tune that they already know.
To the right of the tune name ADESTE FIDELES the series of numbers - 6.6.10.5.6 - is the syllabic structure of the text. These numeric listings may be searched in the back of most hymnals to find a matching tune that the text may be sung to by the congregation.
