This song in Gather 3rd edition is Herman G. Stuemple text, which has been set to SHANTI by Marty Haugen – the tune of “We Walk by Faith“. We are in the social concern section but this song covers more than physical needs.
The text is on page three of this leaflet. GIA don’t appear to sell this but you almost certainly have the music in a hymnal somewhere.
I have already blogged this David E. Trueblood text with other settings (here and here), but Gather 3rd edition sets it to EBENEZER by Thomas Williams.
The text is here.
It is also set to HOLY MANNA, so just so I don’t have to do this a fourth time:
EBENEZER
HOLY MANNA
This is a Delores Duffner text set to a traditional folk tune FOREST GREEN that Ralph Vaughan Williams turned into a hymn tune.
It would be great for any liturgy featuring the feeding the the five thousand.
GIA have other settings of this text for sale but no longer seem to have this one, not even on handbells. The text is in the previews at Hymnary, where they can let you know which hymnals have this version.
I have blogged this marvellous Shirley Erena Murray text twice before with various settings, but I never did a backing for Tony Alonso’s setting, which is in Gather 3rd edition.
The words are at Hope Publishing and this setting’s sheet music at GIA.
