Out of the Depths GA 227

This is another song GA suggest for anointing. The text is by Ruth Duck and the music is FENNVILLE by Robert J. Batastini. It sounds fine for Lent and Reconciliation as well.

The text is at Cantus Mundi.

I found some substitutions she wrote for specific circumstances. The line:

Wounds of the past remain, affecting all we do

can be replaced thusly:

Ruth Duck has provided the following words that may be substituted for those who are seriously ill:
Free us from fear of death, our faith and hope renew…
or, for those who have been abused:
Wounds of abuse remain, affecting all we do…

It is a GIA copyright but I can’t find it for sale there. The sheet music can be purchased at Hymnary.
