This 2015 Barbara Bridge song was included in Breaking Bread for 2020. The words are simply taken from verses in John’s gospel and I can’t see how any copyright claim can be made on any of the text at all. The music is hers and is suitably peaceful.
You can see what I mean about the text in the preview at OCP. The sheet music can be purchased at OCP.
This is traditional styled hymn of praise from 2017 by Ricky Manalo that is majestic indeed.
It was one of the new songs for Breaking Bread in 2020. He based the text on Psalm 104:1, Colossians 1:15 and revelation 22:13.
The sheet music can be purchased at OCP, where the text is in their preview.
My backing is BIAB in slightly pathetic orchestra mode.
If you are looking for a less triumphalist hymn for Christ the King this sweet song from 2016 that has been added to Breaking Bread for 2020 might fit the bill. It is written by a committee of Sarah Hart, Josh Blakesley, Sarah Kroger and Ike Ndolo. OCP also suggest it for Holy Week.

This is a lovely Sarah Hart song from 2017 that has been added to Breaking Bread for 2020. It has an obvious use for anointing but I think it would fit situations in weekly liturgies as well, maybe for gifts, thanksgiving or a recessional.
There are three verses, a refrain after the second verse which more like a bridge, and a coda to finish things off after the last verse.
OCP will sell you the sheet music and provide the text in their preview.
My backing benefited by clear suggestions in the sheet music.

For the 2020 edition of Breaking Bread OCP have added this new setting of James Quinn‘s text. The triumphal music is by Luke D Rosen.
Quinn’s words are here and you can purchase the sheet music at OCP.
Orchestral pomp is usually unintentionally funny in my hands with BIAB.
Proving that tympanis are not essential is Chris Brunelle.
The question remains, is it a better setting than DUKE STREET?
This is a newish gathering song (2107) from Michael Joncas that has been added to Breaking Bread for 2020. It is also a song of mission and commissioning suitable as a recessional. It uses a narrative setting to advance the text.
OCP sell the sheet music and provide the text in their preview.
The wonderful Chris Brunelle has covered all these new songs in Breaking Bread so I will be putting up his clips everyday it seems.
Is this really what OCP suggests as new music for 2020?
This is John M. Neale’s translation of a C8 text by John of Damascus based on Exodus 15. The tune is GAUDEAMUS PARITER.
1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness;
God hath brought his Israel
into joy from sadness;
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ‘Tis the spring of souls today;
Christ hath burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death,
as a sun hath risen;
all the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendor,
with the royal feast of feasts,
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus’ resurrection.
4 Neither might the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold thee as a mortal:
but today amidst thine own
thou didst stand, bestowing
thine own peace, which evermore
passeth human knowing.
5 “Alleuia!” now we cry
to our King immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb’s dark portal;
“Alleluia!” with the Son,
God the Father praising;
“Alleluia!” yet again
to the Spirit raising.
You could buy the sheet music at OCP but it is PD.
This new entry into Breaking Bread for 2020 isn’t exactly new. The text by James Quinn is from 1969 and the setting by Martin Foster is from 1996. But the lyrics are based on a c7 original and the tune for the refrain is from an old chant. So unsurprisingly, it is in a traditional styling.
You can purchase sheet music at OCP, where they provide the text in their preview.
I made a BIAB fake organ backing:
