This is a Steven C. Warner song that has a refrain for the assembly or choir and verses for a cantor. The melody for the verse has enough subtle changes to make the cantor earn their keep and the refrain can be sung SATB. It is simply gorgeous (especially if you have a choir) and is most suitable for Lent. It is based on Psalm 16.
The text is in the sample at WLP where the sheet music can be purchased.

Shouldn’t that be “harbour”? 🙂
Yes, Mary, but it’s an American song in an American songbook and (ahem) they spell things wrong there.
