Yes, there are those known primary for hymns:

  • Ephraem the Syrian
  • Romulus the Melodist
  • Prudentius
  •  . . .

But there are others whose hymns are well known:

  • Peter Damian
  • Martin Luther
  • Theodulph
  • Fulbert of Chartes
  • Wesley
  • St. John of Damascus

You get the picture; If letters deserve their own section then hymns especially ought to have their own section - often they are the only text by the author that users know.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
