The perfect storm for haters of their genre, a setting Ps 98 with words by David Haas and music by Marty Haugen. There is a sample to listen to at AOV. We use Bob Dufford’s setting usually and have never sung this one.
The text is here. It can be purchased in a collection of psalms at GIA.
You can hear a church use it here.

We use this Haas/Haugen version for Ps 98. Gather Australia also comes with 2 other alternative refrains. We are one of the lucky parishes where a cantor sings the verses for the psalm. Dufford’s hymn is used as an Gathering or Sending Forth hymn.
It must be great to have a cantor singing the verses. We are quite often just singing the refrain for the psalm and it isn’t the best.
