Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the texts of the hymns includes the different means of addressing the Supreme Being, the apostrophes and the forms containing the divine attributes. There is also the means of defining the existential situation of man, of his environment, different forms of addressing himself to others, and his condition. Thanks to this analysis we found the differences between traditional and recent hymns.
