Abstract

This essay discussed three hymns. The first hymn was from the Classical or Middle Ages, the second was a modern hymn, and the last was an Indonesian Catholic hymn. The hymns were those of St. Francis of Assisi, a hymn from Taizé, and a hymn from Indonesia. This study employed a qualitative method. The essay also explored good typical hymns used in the Church, namely the hymns of St. Francis and those of Taizé, and compared them with a hymn from Indonesia. It also provided a few hymns as examples to help better understand the hymn of Taizé. The English translation of the Indonesian hymn might miss its emotion because Indonesian poetry has unique linguistic features. Based on the comparison of the three hymns, this study aimed to provide a deeper understanding of what constitutes a good hymn.
