I should have noted that the link I provided ( http://www.nyx.net/~cgibbons/do-you-know/dyk3.pdf ) includes the piano music.<BR/><BR/>I also seem to have failed to mention that, way back over a year and a half ago, I found a very interesting post about the hymn on a blog titled "The True Face of Birth" (now renamed "Stand and Deliver") put together by someone named Rixa: http://rixarixa.blogspot.com/2006/12/souviens-toi-mon-enfant-remember-my.html (or click <A HREF="http://rixarixa.blogspot.com/2006/12/souviens-toi-mon-enfant-remember-my.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>).Bruce Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01975464286394973580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846270808622210589.post-15034289158459444592009-01-27T20:04:00.000-07:002009-01-27T20:04:00.000-07:00I can't believe I just found your post, hurray!

It's obviously not as literal as mine and doesn't entirely do the French justice, but it's not bad.

It's lovely.<BR/><BR/>My favorite day without question was Wednesday, when we got 15 new missionaries. I saw them in their new suits and ties (or skirts and blouses) and felt the trust being given to us from their parents--who had surely helped them choose these clothes that will be nicely worn out in two years. We are entrusted to care for them and comfort them as they prepare for their time in the mission field. I love it!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846270808622210589.post-92139011660793653922007-05-12T11:53:00.000-06:002007-05-12T11:53:00.000-06:00I read this post with a smile, and I'm glad you an...I read this post with a smile, and I'm glad you and Margaret are enjoying your new calling.
