How does one define the difference between a "hymn" and a contermporary worship song?

It's arbitrary.
Old hymns were contemporary once.
Take care.

This is my favorite part of the song.
"You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same"

The Apostle John said": "We love him, because he first loved us".
The song/hymn has a similar sentiment.

I know the first hymn you mentioned, but not the second.
God bless.

One of my favorites is Breathe on Me Breath of God--the tenor part sounds almost as good as the melody.
Our choir director introduced new hymns as anthems in the evening service, but the only one I remember is Lord, You Have Come to the Lakeshore.
It was in the 1989 version of the United Methodist Hymnal and is a translation from Tú Has Venido a la Orilla. On Google a minute ago I found this link to someone playing it on an organ.

Imagine a magnificent room filled with proven, worthy, and valuable treasures, shining, gleaming, entrancing.
In the middle of the floor, we see a bunch of children who are indifferent to the splendor all around them.
They are busy playing with disposable plastic trinkets.
Does that summarize the situation?

These are lyrics to a song our associate pastor wrote, although obviously a ton of scripture, which is the reason I like it.
You are terror to the night, sword of justice in your right hand
You are fearsome to the sight, the gentle Lamb, the famous "I AM."
I tread lightly in this place, holy ground I firmly stand on,
You're the lion never tamed, everything was formed at Your Word
Yet, you called me your friend.
Oh, to hear the voice of Jesus, frees us.
Chains are broken by your spoken word
Oh, in the presence of the Saviour, forever
Heaven sings of a wonderful God of love
Hail the Great "I AM"

Makes me tremble when we sing this
It is Well With My Soul
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

"Shout to the Lord."
and
"Our God is an awesome God."
God bless,

My favorite hymns:
The Solid Rock
I Stand Amazed
He Leadeth Me
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Be Thou My Vision
My Redeemer (Never hear this one anymore. I don't know why)
Victory in Jesus
Someone earlier asked why all the great hymns are old, and a couple people suggested theories, but I have another one: the test of time. I'm sure there were as many hymns being written years ago as there are worship songs being written today. The really good ones, the ones that spoke to people and brought them closer to the Lord, are, for the most part, the ones that lasted. The songs that are written today are written in a different style and they aren't called hymns (yet), but I imagine that some of them will still be being sung in a hundred years, and they'll still speak to people, such as "Here I am to Worship" that has the really awesome lines in it, "I'll never know how much it cost/ To see my sin upon that cross."

I don't think I have heard of Fairest Lord Jesus, but I didn't grow up in a church that used hymns...
Perhaps this will refresh your memory:
Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
SOn of God and SOn of Man
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honour
THou My soul's glory, joy and crown.
The lyrics in the following verses are even more beautiful - the tune is a Sicilian Folk tune.....very pretty.

Blessed Assurance
and my favorite line is "oh what a foretaste of glory divine!"
Because the Holy Spirit dwells with us, we literally do have a foretaste of glory.

I have a lot of favorite hymns, but i'll narrow to these which have specific meaning to them:
Balm in Gilead ( was the first hymn to speak to my heart)
Are You Washed in the Blood of the Lamb (reminds me that i need forgiveness & it's fun to sing)
I Have Decided to Follow Jesus (sung at the church where my family was baptized)
Sweet Hour of Prayer (brings me back to prayer again if i ever stray)
This Is The Day.. Which The LORD hath made (this song is good for playing in my head when troubles come)
This Little Light of Mine (another good play in my head song)
Every morning i like to visit this website and it has a hymn of the week with a special audio message for each day of the week. I've learned quite a few new hymns. Songs and Hymns.org
It was fun to read everyone's favorites.

Does that summarize the situation? I am assuming the treasures are the hymns and the toys are contemporary worship?
Then, how old does a song have to be before it can be treasure; and can nothing worthy of being a treasure be composed today?
