Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g5215 Greek: humnos

Hymn (Noun and Verb):

denotes "a song of praise addressed to God" (Eng., "hymn"), Eph 5:19; Col 3:16, in each of which the punctuation should probably be changed; in the former "speaking to one another" goes with the end of ver. 18, and should be followed by a semicolon; similarly in Col 3:16, the first part of the verse should end with the words "admonishing one another," where a semicolon should be placed.

Note: The psalmos denoted that which had a musical accompaniment; the ode (Eng., "ode") was the generic term for a song; hence the accompanying adjective "spiritual."

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g5214 Greek: humneo

Hymn (Noun and Verb):

akin to A, is used

(a) transitively, Mat 26:30; Mar 14:26, where the "hymn" was that part of the Hallel consisting of Psalms 113-118;

(b) intransitively, where the verb itself is rendered "to sing praises" or "praise," Act 16:25; Hbr 2:12. The Psalms are called, in general, "hymns," by Philo; Josephus calls them "songs and hymns."
