What is a canticle? This word appears in our new hymn, in the hymn “When Morning Gilds the Skies” , and also will be the postlude title on Sunday. A canticle is a hymn derived from the Bible. It may be a chant, hymn, or song, often non-metrical, with words from biblical texts. Julia Callaway, Director of Music Ministries |
