Back in the day, I was a Bradford Student and the patron saint of our chaplaincy was Philip Howard. The patronal celebration was always a big affair with a Pontifical Mass (in a chapel the size of a large living room!!), a small schola singing one of Byrd's Masses (I didn't appreciate it then as much as I would now!!) and thence to the bar (directly below the chapel) for a pint (or seven) of the black stuff. We prayed hard and played hard!!
During the Mass we sang a hymn that we always refered to as the "Hymn of St Philip Howard" (based on his words?). Whilst clearing up my study I have come across an old order of service booklet from the 80s (I can't throw anything away) which has the words of said hymn. I can remember the melody. I wonder, does anyone recognise it and, perchance, have music?
The first couple of verses are as follows:
O Christ, my Lord which for my sins didst hang upon a tree,
grant that thy grace in me, poor wretch, may still ingrafted be, may still ingrafted be.
Grant that thy naked hanging there may kill in me all pride
and care of wealth, since thou didst then in such poor state abide, in such poor state abide.
