Might the clan cite from a hymn with text from the Bible? (8)

I believe the answer is:

canticle

(Other definitions for canticle that I've seen before include "Short hymn" , "eg Magnificat" , "A religious song" , "Church hymn or chant" , "Bible-derived song or prayer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
