The word “hymn” in literature serves as a versatile symbol that is both literal and metaphorical, bridging the realms of the sacred and the secular. It is often used to denote a formal, devotional song—whether the exalted strains of a jubilant ode to joy or the solemn cadence of religious ritual, as when characters join in unison for a sacred service [1, 2] or reflect on a storied melody like Schiller’s "Hymn to Joy" [3]. Yet, the term also operates figuratively to capture philosophical moods or societal commentary, as when a discourse is likened to a “hymn of dialectic” [4] or even presented with a hint of irony [5]. This duality not only deepens the emotional texture of a narrative but also reinforces the cultural and historical resonance embedded in the idea of a hymn.
