Resumen
TONSING, Gertrud. '... Earth's proud empires pass away…': The glorification and critique of power in songs and hymns of Imperial Britain. Herv. teol. stud. [online]. 2017, vol.73, n.3, pp.1-9. ISSN 2072-8050. http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/hts.73i3.3637.
Songs and hymns shape faith and play a part in shaping political landscapes. They can be used to build or maintain power as well as to critique and challenge it. This has been true for South Africa, and some brief examples will be given. But this article focuses on hymns and patriotic songs from the time of the British Empire and explores how they portray power, entrench superiority or build a common, global Christian identity.
