Alphabetic hymn is a sacred song or poem structured around alphabetic progression, where verses or lines begin with successive letters of the alphabet. This form has ancient roots in Hebrew poetry, where acrostic psalms used the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet as organizing principles. Alphabetic hymns combine devotional expression with mnemonic structure, making religious teachings memorable while demonstrating the completeness of praise through exhausting the alphabet.
