I feel terrible passing over all the liturgical mass parts in volume one of the Catholic Worship Book II, because, for all its shortcomings as a hymn book, it really is a liturgical treasure and the meat is in this volume.
What I am currently doing is looking for the songs that have been placed in the liturgical section of the book that I haven’t covered already. I’m avoiding chant because BIAB can’t do it.
This song is for the RCIA and is by Bernadette Farrell. Here, the first three verses for the acceptance in to the Order of the Catechumens are given but as you can see from the sample at OCP, she has provided a text for every step of the way.
The sheet music can be purchased at OCP if you don’t have CWB II.
My backing is 3/4 time at 68 bpm and CWB II actually provided chords for this one.
- CWB II 86 With Your Cross of Love Upon Us – this is the same tune with lyrics for Signing of the Senses.
- CWB II 94 By Your Name You Call Us – same tune – Rite of Election
