Also, as occasion may arise, let other selections from the treasury of hymns be incorporated." - #93. General Instruction of the Liturgy of the Hours "To whatever extent may seem desirable, the hymns are to be restored to their original form, and whatever smacks of mythology or ill accords with Christian piety is to be removed or changed. But they also are an element for the people in fact more often than the other parts of the office the hymns bring out the proper theme of individual hours or feasts and incline and draw the spirit to a devout celebration.".
By their mystical and poetic character they are specifically designed for God's praise. Catechism of the Catholic Church "A very ancient tradition gives hymns the place in the office that they still retain. "The hymns and litanies of the Liturgy of the Hours integrate the prayer of the psalms into the age of the Church, expressing the symbolism of the time of day, the liturgical season, or the feast being celebrated." - #1177.

It was prayed or sung in Latin and was itself the result of numerous revisions throughout the centuries. Prior to the reforms introduced by Paul VI in 1974, the Breviarium Romanum (1962) was the approved version of the Office used throughout the Church. Many of them were traditionally used in the Roman Breviary. Alphabetical index of all Latin Hymns on this website.
