This is a bilingual song by Pedro Rubalcava. The English text is in this bulletin – page 4, but I can’t find the Spanish text.
WLP subscribers can download the sheet music here.
Continuing my survey of Voices As One Vol2, I can skip:
256 Give Thanks
257 Glorify Thy Name
…as I have already done those.
“Go Now in Peace” is by Kevin Keil and is a gentle recessional that is really a sweet singable tune. They note that the fourth verse is especially appropriate for the dismissal of the Catechumens.
You can purchase the sheet music at WLP where the text is their sample.
This is a praise and worship song by Michael Larson that might just pass muster as a gathering song as well.
The text is at vineyard and the sheet music can be purchased at Praise Charts. The syncopation is intuitive enough to sing along with but the refrain goes quite high. The arrangement by Ed Bolduc has a lower harmony line for groaners like me. WLP subscribers can access that version here.
Tim Manion’s song based on Psalm 27 was used at RS’s parish yesterday. It also has application for funerals and All Souls Day.
The text is at Cantus Mundi and the sheet music can be purchased at OCP. As with a lot of psalm settings the verses have fiddly differences in tune that will likely require a cantor to sort out.
This hymn turned up at Chris’s parish today. It is by Albert Bayley and set to the stirring tune IN BABILONE .
The text is here and Hymnary have a lot of background on the tune and hymnals that contain the song.
If you want to sing along I’ve blogged the tune in BIAB fake organ here.
The music liturgy team at our parish selected these songs for mass next week:
Entrance: City of God (Schutte) AOV 1/57
Psalm 137 (McKenna)
Lord, on the day I called for help, you have answered me.
Gifts: A Trusting Psalm (Bates) AOV 1/115
Communion: Bread of Heaven (Manibusan-Hart)
Lord to Whom Shall We Go? (Herry) AOV 1/6
Thanksgiving: We Walk by Faith (Haugen) AOV 1/63
Recessional: Sing to the Mountains (Dufford) AOV 1/92
This is Ed Bolduc’s adaption of Psalm 89. It is certainly singable and has some nice call and response at the end of the verses, although the last refrain does have a key change for some reason.
The sheet music can be purchase at WLP where the text is in their sample.

This is a fine Chris Tomlin praise and worship song that has potential for liturgical use is it based on Psalm 136.
The text is here and subscribers can download it from WLP. It is also available for purchase at various sellers on the internet including musicnotes.

This song by Michael John Poirier is in Voices As One Vol 2 and as far as I can see nowhere else. It is a song that would fit into liturgies that emphasise grace.
WLP has no trace of it on their web site and I can’t find the text nor sheet music for sale anywhere on the net. It is from an album called “Ocean of Mercy”.
So for those with the book who want to sing along:
