As is his custom, the director of music at my parish dusted off most of the patriotic hymns for Mass this morning. We sang not just "America the Beautiful" and "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," but also "Finlandia" (which the hymnal irksomely calls 'This Is My Song') and "Eternal Father Strong to Save."
