Hymn Analysis

In the hymn Savior of the Nations Come, diction, description, and pathos were used throughout the song. The word choices the writer of the song uses gives the entire song a joyful mood. It helps us more clearly see the point and meaning of the song. Brightly, pure, triumph, and victory, a few words used in the hymn, all give off a feeling of success, which is exactly what the song was meant to do. "Pure and Fresh" and "Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned" are just a few examples of how the author of the hymn chose to describe the Savior in the hymn. By describing the "Virgin's Son" we are better told of how holy and glorified the main character of the song is. Emotion is very big component of this hymn. Without it, the hymn would have absolutely no meaning. By repeating "Praise to God" we are shown the, overjoyed emotion meant to be displayed through the hymn. Overall, the hymn is meant to produce an uplifting sense of feeling. It is a hymn of praise, and every line shows that it is indeed meant to be a song sang joyfully.
