This is wonderful song for Lent by Marty Haugen in Gather Comprehensive. It does require a cantor singing against the assembly so for parishes like mine where we all sing everything it isn’t going to work.
The sheet music can be purchased at GIA , where the text is in their preview.

This is another Marty Haugen song from Gather Comprehensive that I haven’t come across before. The text is actually by Susan R. Briehl but wonderfully set by Haugen.
The text is here.
The sheet music can be purchased at GIA.
I have blogged a lot of Chris deSilva songs in the last two year and the good news is that he has updated his website with new sheet music.
A highlight is his setting of the Easter Proclamation, which is an epic achievement. I did ask him at the APMN conference in 2017 if he would tackle it and he has done so.
He has melody line and full music at his site along with a sample MP3 to get the idea.
It is in nine parts with nine tunes and most certainty worth a look for anyone who wants to cantor this important text this year.
I’m back in my small project to blog all the Marty Haugen songs in my copy of Gather Comprehensive that I haven’t already covered from other sources like As One Voice.
This is a song with a text by Marty Haugen and a tune he has adapted from O FILII ET FILIAE.
It is joyous and singable as you would expect.
The text is at Cantus Mundi.
The sheet music can be purchased for download from GIA and is only$US2.00.

This Marty Haugen song is for the veneration of the cross on Good Friday has a haunting melody.
If you go to GIA, where you can purchase the sheet music, you will see two versions. As well as this one, there is one for the Signing of the Senses. The text is in the second part of the sample music there.
I’m not a hundred percent sure what is going on here but it is the right song:
I’m seeking out Marty Haugen sings that I haven’t come across elsewhere that are in my copy of Gather Comprehensive.
This is actually an African-American spiritual for which Haugen has written seven extra verses. The music is attributed to Barbara Jackson Martin, but it is elsewhere called traditional and merely harmonised by her.
The sheet music for this version can be purchased at GIA, where the sample pages give you Haugen’s text. In GC it is in G, but the website drops it to Eb, which is a good idea.
There are other versions on the web that share some of the words and have very different tunes.
This is vastly different version more like in Hymnary:
