Who Calls You By Name GC 794

This is another of the songs by David Haas that I have found in my copy Gather Comprehensive that I haven’t looked at before from other collections.

I’m pretty sure Haas pulled this one out at the Perth APMN conference even though it wasn’t in the booklet. It is an easy call and response refrain and a tricky set of verses with shifts in time signature that would make it difficult for an assembly. It is, however, catchy as anything if your cantor or soloist is game.

The text is here.

I can’t find it for sale at GIA as a single sheet, except as a handbell arrangment, but I suspect it is in this collection of music for the RCIA. It does seem a good fit for that purpose.

My backing has the cantor and assembly as separate melody lines. Fair warning, my copy of GC is melody line so I guessed the chords.
