Hello everybody!
My parish of Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys is anxiously anticipating our patronal feast this Sunday. While choosing the hymnody that will be sung for the Sunday liturgies, I recalled some sort of hymn to Saint Marguerite being sung on previous years. Name that tune, anybody?
All I remember is the refrain goes something like this:
"Sing out her glory,
holiness and joy complete.
All of us today acclaim her,
O Saint Marguerite."
Or in the original French (from what I can remember--I don't know any French...):
"O Marguerite,
c'est l'universe entiers
[I don't remember the third line]
et ta santate."
Does anybody know about this hymn/song/tune/whatever? Are there any settings of it that anybody knows of? I vaguely recall when it was sung in past years that it was accompanied by guitars--are there any more traditional settings (e.g. for organ)?
Thanks everybody!
