Deep Calls to Deep NLPHB 54

This is a pretty obscure hymn. The text is inspired by Psalm 42 and is by Sister Marie Anne Lynch OCD and is set to INVOCATION by the editor of the hymnal John de Luca. It is obviously suitable for Pentecost.

I can find no trace of this anywhere, but would value anyone’s experience of using this hymn. It is way out of print so I’ll post the sheet music. My chords are my fault.

Refrain

Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waters.

1 Spirit breathing where you will, stoop to our pleading:

Come with your healing breath, and fill hearts that are bleeding.

2 Spirit breathing where you will. eager Love burning,

Come with your breath of flame, and fill hearts that are yearning.

3 Spirit breathing where you will, Love’s exultation:

Come: and, as once on Calvary’s hill, fire this oblation.
