Notes of our delving into old hymnals to find Catholic Hymns.

Abide With Me
May have appeared in early Catholic hymnals, but a recent search for a family for a memorial Mass asked for IN rather than WITH.
Did find one: http://nethymnal.org/htm/a/b/abidinme.htm
Immaculate Mary - Chorus
After learning that the version of Immaculate Mary that we have included is the "correct" one with the emphasis "correctly" placed on A-ve, A-ve, then we find this version.
Now Thank We All Our God - But Catholic!
We've just found a popular text for this tune, but set with words of the Catholic...from the last 1890's. Definitely something to add to our library.
Verse 1
Praise we our God with joy,
And gladness never ending.
Angels and Saints with us
Their grateful voices blending,
He is our Father dear,
O'erfilled with Parents' love;
Mercies unsought, unknown,
He showers from above.
