Need music for "Sion, Sing"

    Some parishioners in our morning mass crowd pray the Shorter Christian Prayer morning prayer frequently before mass. They would like to sing the above hymn by Lucien Deiss. One of the priests sort of remembers the tune but I have have been unable to find music or a decent recording I could transcribe. I hate to order one of the Christian Prayer books if it has no hymn type music in the back. I appreciate any help.

    The one-volume Christian Prayer from Catholic Book Publishing includes a melody score for "Sion, Sing" on p. 1509. It looks like this (below):

    Deiss' song book "Biblical Hymns and Psalms" is still offered for sale by WLP, if you need accompaniment for it.
