[Magdalen] Bishops' choices of funeral hymns

[Jay Weigel]

We sang Wachet Auf at the Lutheran church this morning also, along with
Rejoice, Rejoice Believers to the wonderful Swedish tune that the Lutherans
favor. Here is a great  arrangement by the Covenant Church of Schaumburg,
IL with brass and the whole nine yards.
