Many hymns use archaic English words, as those in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. This type of English is often confused with the variant of English used at Renaissance fairs, but is quite different. In Renaissance fair parlance, the words "thee" and "you" differ by level of formality. In KJV (or by extension Shakesperean) English, the difference between these words is that one is singular and one is plural.

I have started to put together a small guide to help the uninitiated make sense of these terms.
