This is another familar hymn from the 1970s that I have somehow never blogged, but it is in the Praise to God Hymnal and is another the Dominicans sourced from the Lutheran hymn book All Together Again. There seems to have been far more Protestant – Catholic music cross over in the seventies than I was aware of.
This song was written by Carol Owens as part of a musical – a very early 70s idea.
Mary at Godsongs has the background, and the sheet music is available all over the internet freely, which it probably should not be.
The text is available here.
