A church I'm working with has an event called a "hymn sing." (A leader takes requests and the group sings random hymns from a specified hymnal.)

I need to translate "hymn sing" to Spanish, but can't find a translation that suits me -- "himno cantar" was one suggestion, "reunión de cantar himnos" was another.

I'm hoping that this community can help. Thanks.

    'Canto de himnos' seria mi primera opcion – DGaleano Jul 27 '16 at 16:12

Hymn is easy and unambiguous. On the other hand, "sing" has many meanings.

I think the meaning you want is "the abstract act and effect of singing", therefore you should use the Spanish word "canto". Maybe "canto de himnos"
