I submit to you that calling the same tune by multiple names in the same hymnal is unacceptable.
Very few people have a copy of this incredibly rare Catholic hymnal.
This Catholic hymnal was written by a priest named “Police.” (not kidding)

* Thirteen Men & Coins (Holy Thursday Appeal)
Traditionally on Holy Thursday, the priest washed the feet of thirteen men. Theologians held various opinions regarding whom the “13th man” represented. Before the liturgical changes of Pope Pius XII (which changed the number from thirteen to twelve), the priest washed each man’s feet, kissed his foot, and gave him a coin.
This “coin” business seems providential—inasmuch as our appeal begins on Holy Thursday this year.
