Thread Name: Lyr Add: Papal Hymn / Long Live the Pope
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Long Live the Pope
Good find, Haruo! I've never heard a hymn sung in praise of the pope, and I've certainly never heard this one. I found the song in a 1960's reprint of the 1920/1941 St. Gregory Hymnal and Catholic Choir Book. My book says three hundred million. I guess it's like the changing signs McDonald's used to have, showing how many hundred million burgers they served.
I'll see if I can get around to posting a MIDI later, so we can all sing it together when they elect a new pope in a couple of weeks.
