Marian hymn...

    I' m looking for the tune for a hymn called "Marian Hymn". The meter is 11 11 11 11 doubled. The first line is "Our Lady who art our perpetual aid..."

    This is for a friend in India whose priest is sure the people are singing it "wrong"... I've looked around but have not found anything... Thoughts?

    It sounds generally reminiscent of this 8 8 8 8 novena hymn:

    "O Mother of Perpetual Help,
    to thee we come imploring help,
    behold us here, from far and near
    to ask of thee our help to be"

    Maybe we should go a little more high-tech: your friend in India can use a phone to record the hymn, e-mail the recording to you, we can post it on the forum, and members across the world can scratch their heads and say, "what's that"?

    Thanks Chonak... I'll see if anyone has any suggestions, and if not, I'll suggest this to him. I asked him to find it on YouTube, but he couldn't.
