Santo Daime Hymns
Sacred music and dance are fundamental to the Santo Daime religion. The earliest hymns are those of the founder, Raimundo Irineu Serra - 'Mestre Irineu'. Today, hundreds of Daimistas from Brazil and other countries have contributed music to this growing genre. Within the doctrine, songs tend to be referred to as 'received' from a spiritual source rather than written from the writers mind alone.
A Santo Daime hinário (Portuguese) or hymn-book (hymnario), can be a life work of its owner, chronicling that person's spiritual journey. During a ritual, one or several hinários or compilations may be sung in their entirety.

Famous quotes containing the word hymns:
“So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 5:17-20.
