[Magdalen] Trinity Anyone?

[Marion Thompson]

Ah geez, our Te Deum will take the form of a hymn: Holy God we praise 
your name.  Probably some cheesy tune that nobody knows. NOT the same as 
the real thing with its majestic words.  Couldn't we recite it or 
something?  How I pine for full throttle liturgy and music in a grand 
setting!  Oh, well.
