I’m jumping from OCP to GIA for more David Haas songs.
I enjoyed blogging the songs he used at the Perth APMN conference last year, which covered his more recent songs. I have already looked at everything from AOV 1&2 and Gather Australia and from his “Table Song” collection and some that have come up in liturgies over the years, but found a treasure trove of Haas songs I haven’t heard before in my copy of Gather Comprehensive 2nd ed 2004.
I only have a melody line edition but that hasn’t stopped me finding chords in the past even if they are a bit approximate at times.
This is an Advent song of some charm. The second verse has tropes that relate to the Northern Hemisphere, which I would omit in Australia.
The text is at Hymnary and the sheet music can be purchased at GIA.
