Ancient Greek hymn of thanksgiving to a god, now used of any song of praise (5)

I believe the answer is:

paean

(Other definitions for paean that I've seen before include "work building up" , "A song of triumph or praise" , "Hymn of praise" , "Panegyric" , "Anthem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
