Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Looking for hymn set to 'Ode to Joy'
Found another Esperanto hymn text to this tune, Kamaradoj amgvidataj, in Butler's Himnaro Esperanta and am posting it in my online hymnal. The hymn purports to be a translation, by Montagu C Butler, of one "Comrades we, whom love is leading" by one E. Grubb. So far I have not found any reference to this anywhere else. I'd certainly appreciate the English (or other) original text (Himnaro Esperanta generally gives English titles to translated hymns, even when the original is actually German or Latin or something), dates, any info on E. Grubb, etc.

While I'm at it, let me repeat that I am also looking for the German text by Helmut Oess, BrĂ¼der, singt ein Lied der Freude, from which Fratoj, kantu ĝojo-kanton was translated. Also an English version if such exists.
