GA was certainly a fan of John Bell. This song is in Gather Australia but also in the collection Enemy of Apathy, which can be purchased at Wild Goose.

Bell has some important riding instructions for this one:
The idea of ‘reproaches’ comes from the ancient church liturgy for Good Friday in which the cantor, taking Jesus’ part, reminds the congregation of the good that God has done and the evil shown in return.
When this setting is used the response should, in the first verses, be loud and angry, as if Christ should have been more evident in the world. Towards the end the response becomes more quiet and penitent.
The cantor should follow the natural rhythm of speech rather than keep strict tempo for each verse. Extra notes will therefore be added ad lib.
