Somewhat wickedly (since Msgr Knox didn’t die until 1957, so his work is still copyright) – there is sheet music in the book uploaded here: https://www.ccwatershed.org/media/pdfs/16/03/07/16-45-38_0.pdf This is to the tune DECORA LUX, which was composed by someone who died in 1816 and so is in the public domain.

I don’t know if that is the same tune used in the book which Michael mentioned above. It may not be – and the tune from that book may be a better fit for your local use, depending on where you are based.

You should be able to get a photocopy via you local library. Your local library will have to do an inter-library loan. The details of the book are: Praise the Lord. Full Music Edition. John Ainslie, Stephen Dean, Paul Inword published by Geoffrey Chapman, London 1974. The song is #249 What fairer Light is this? Unfortunately, be prepared to pay $12-$24 for this service. Not sure where you are located Cath but there are 2 copies in Sydney, 2 in Melbourne, 1 in Queensland and 1 in SA. Hope this helps, Michael.

I have a copy of the melody and words which I found in a book from the 70’s called Praise the Lord – Godffrey Chapman London 1974. The edition I have is the melody edition so unfortunately no accompaniment or chords. I would be happy to send what I have if you email me somervillmj@hotmail.com. Hope this helps,
Michael
