A canticle (song) is a hymn with scriptural text. There are ten such texts identified in Scripture, three of which are used daily in the Church in the Liturgy of the Hours: the Benedictus of Zechariah (Lk. 1:68-79), the Magnificat of Our Lady (Lk. 1:46-55) and the Nunc Dimittis of Simeon (Lk. 2:29-32).
