    I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for elsewhere - so I came up with this. Extremely simple, although based on the contour of the Graduale communio. Meinrad tone 6, revised grail psalmody. Feel free to use and/or criticize as you like.

    Another setting of this text, along with the rest of the propers for St. Peter and Paul (and most everything else you need to sing proper antiphons) can be found in the Lumen Christi Simple Gradual.

    The Communion Antiphon is at number 359.

    It's nice! I like it. Although I'm actually using - wait for it - "Heart of a Shepherd," by Rory Cooney.

    It appears that it is being used at all the ordinations lately and the pastor really likes it. He's pretty traditionally minded, but come to think of it, it uses the Gelineau Psalm 23 verses, so I guess it's actually sort of traditional-ish.

    Very easy to sing at any rate - and I'm sure the people will sing it.

    Anyhow, there's also a setting of this text in BFW that is quite nice.

    Nice! As a small typesetting note, I would not center the verse texts. I would do it along the lines of how it is done here (a fairly standard method of indenting for psalm texts).

    It also appears you need to switch your voices/stem directions in the lower staff.

    For everyone - we use the SEP every week here, but I have never found it conducive to congregational singing. Thus the very simple metrical setting of the antiphon - something I've been experimenting with recently with (I think) good results.

    Ben - certainly good points. This is just a quick and utilitarian performing edition.

    I've set this SATB, as well, if you're interested.

    No problem! I know I've had much messier performing editions, so I completely understand!
