This one turns up very occasionally in our liturgies. It is written by Bob Dufford whose mass I’m already missing. He based it on Ps 118, but I’m not sure why the Sanctus winds up in the second verse. It sounds a bit like the Star Wars theme in waltz time, but it is singable enough I suppose. The original in all its seventies glory can be heard here.
It can be purchased for download at OCP.
My backing goes all string band on us I’m afraid.
Refrain
Sing to the mountains,
sing to the sea.
Raise your voices,
lift your hearts.
This is the day
the Lord has made.
Let all the earth rejoice.Verse 1
I will give thanks to you, my Lord.
You have answered my plea.
You have saved my soul from death.
You are my strength and song.
RefrainVerse 2
Holy, holy,
holy Lord.
Heaven and earth
are full of your glory.
RefrainVerse 3
This is the day that the Lord has made.
let us be glad and rejoice.
He has turned all death to life.
Sing of the glory of God.
