The Finlandia hymn (Finnish: Finlandia-hymni) refers to a serene hymn-like section of the patriotic symphonic poem Finlandia, written in 1899 and 1900 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. It was later re-worked by the composer into a stand-alone piece. With words written in 1940 by Veikko Antero Koskenniemi, it is one of the most important national songs of Finland.
Although not the official national anthem of Finland, it has been continuously proposed as such.
Other major uses of the tune include several Christian hymns and other national songs including Be Still My Soul.
