This is another communion song from David Haas’s “Table Songs”. This is one I haven’t used that I think is really worth consideration. It is based on Psalm 116.
The text is here. You could do it like the original at his MySpace page, with different sets of cantors, tubular bells and a massive “rit” at the end of the verses, or you could just let everyone sing everything and keep it simple with the triplets and interesting tune to keep it going.
My parish has used this psalm for years with the appropriate refrain at the appropriate time including Holy Thursday Mass with refrain ‘Our Blessing Cup’. You can find it in Gather Australia but I have not seen the ‘What return can I make’ refrain before.
Thanks Chris, I hadn’t noticed it but it is No. 68 in Gather Australia just as you say.
