    In the Dutch Liturgy of the Hours is a hymn for February 22 which has stanzas with 88. 77 meter. I just can't find a good (dignified) hymn tune to sing this hymn to. Does any one know of one?

    Edit: never mind, I found one!

    It's the hymn on page 12-13 of the following booklet: http://www.kleingraduale.nl/images/KG-BenedictusXVI.pdf

    The hymn is a loose translation of the Latin hymn Petrus beátus catenárum.

    This is one of those cases where you extend over a couple of notes in the last two lines of a given Long Meter tune (that Dutch text seems trochaic, rather than iambic).
