Today is the Memorial of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, Religious. Those who do the Divine Office, aka Liturgy Of The Hours, have some choices as to which parts of the Proper of saints and Common For Religious to use. 
Now, for those who opt for the hymns in the Commons, you will note that it is suggested to use the hymns on page 1864 (in the 4 volume LOTH, I am not sure what pages in the Christian Prayer) for OOR and EP II. :yup:
I love the hymn tune suggested, “For All The Saints”, even though only three stanzas are given. But if you are like me, praying the LOTH alone at home, and brought up with “Sing Along With Mitch”, you want to sing more stanzas, in choir with other singers, and never mind the neighbors
So here is a link to a You Tube video of a Methodist Church doing a wonderful job on the hymn. I wish we could get some Catholic congregations to sing this well.
