For the Mawrters reading this...

It's a bit late, but here's the "Te Deum Patrem colimus" traditionally sung from the tower of Magdalen College, Oxford:

There's a translation here. I've always heard this referred to as the "Hymn to the Sun," but it is a Trinitarian hymn with no reference to spring, sunshine, etc. Anyone know if the seniors actually sing this at Bryn Mawr May Day anymore?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't sung any of the years I was there. We definitely didn't sing it my senior year; I remember looking it up to find out what it was and deciding it was too uncomfortably Christian to be worth me learning for May Day.
