We Give You Thanks, O God

The next song in Michael Herry’s collection Dare to Dream is a bit confusing.

It is a fine setting of the psalm for the second week of Easter Year A by the well known Australian setter of psalms, Jenny O’Brien. I gather her psalm collections are out of print and hard to find. There are some in collections for specific liturgies at Adelaide’s Office for Worship, and audio tracks, without sheet music, for responses for Years B and C. (only three from year A) It would be nice if the sheet music was put up Herry style.

The question is, what is it doing in Herry’s collection? Maybe the Marist Singers just liked singing it – you can hear them do it at the Marist’s site. The sheet music with the text is freely available there as well.
