Gina Ogilvie and Monica O’Brien’s song, “Hope is Found Again,” is No69 in AOV NG. This is lovely simple song that would be useful as part of a second rite service or a funeral. Gina’s vocal on the CD takes the song well beyond the arrangement but for those not so blessed I’m sure it will work fine as written.
There is a missing tie in the top line on p218.
Your people long to know the wonder of your grace,
To know forgiveness for the times we’ve turned away.
You have called us to yourself, we are longing to be whole,
For you call us back to you and hope is found…again.
No height or ocean deep, no pain or loss through death,
No power within this world can keep us far from you.
You have called us by our name and you claim us as your own,
For you call us back to you and hope is found…again.
