There are so many paraphrases and settings of the Canticle of Mary that there probably should be a moratorium for a while.
This one is by Sister Anne Carter and these are the lyrics. The tune is NEW BRITAIN ie the music used for “Amazing Grace”.
…which sounds like this:
Godsongs has, as usual, some useful background and OCP must have sold it at some stage because they still have a preview of the sheet music here, but I damned if I can find anywhere on their site to buy it. Then again, you already know the tune.
It’s in almost all their hymnals and missals, but with varying titles! You can find it here: http://www.ocp.org/compositions/32152 or https://www.licensingonline.org/en-us/14/cluster/3958. OCP must lose a lot of sales from people leaving its websites in frustration. Their search engine is, to use a technical term, knackered.
Many thanks for the legwork, Chris.
