Does anybody know the name of the song that Bree sings in her apartment?

It was a Catholic school song Fonda actually had to sing when she was a girl. She just happened to sing it one day while waiting for a lighting setup and director Pakula -who overheard her- wanted to use it in the movie. She talked about it in her book.

I am in the middle of her biography, which by the way is a compelling look into her life, and she also mentions that she got much of the insight to a prostitute from the ones she would talk to and meet while married to her first husband, Vadim.

It's a hymn entitiled "We Gather Together". Fonda combines the first two lines of the first verse with the last two lines of the second verse:

"We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing
He chastens and hastens His will to make known
So from the beginning the fight we were winning
Thou, Lord, wast at our side, All glory be thine!"

She also sings "BE at our side instead of WAST" and fudges "All glory" by humming.
