In the light of the Lutheran hymn tradition, the article investigates how the Plan for Christian Education of the Church of Norway reflects on hymn singing. The author compares hymn lists from a few congregations to the hymns in school songbooks. The article discuss the purpose and intention of hymn singing, and the correspondence between hymns used in church and the RLE subject. The core question is whether hymn singing is an expression of faith or of culture, and how hymn singing influences on identity.Keywords: Hymn singing in church • Christian education • Identification • Hymns in school songbooks • The curriculum of the RLE subjectNøkkelord: Salmesang i kirken • Kristendomsundervisning • Identifikasjon • Salmer i skolens sangbøker • Læreplanenen i RLE
