喜樂美語
  1. 1

    A short religious song, usually with words taken straight from the Bible rather than written new by a hymn writer. That is the useful difference from a hymn: a hymn is a poem someone wrote to be sung, while a canticle is scripture set to music. Several are sung regularly in church services and have their own Latin names — the , the Nunc Dimittis. The word appears mainly in church contexts, in music writing, and in book and film titles where it sounds solemn and old (A Canticle for Leibowitz). Ordinary people talking about Sunday singing say hymn or song, not canticle.

    聖歌、頌歌（歌詞多直接取自聖經）
