I always stumble on the first pass of the Communion Passer invenit, and after this week figured it's worthwhile to prepare for OT 16. With apologies in advance, here is how I sing Bruce Ford's restored chant in The American Gradual (I'm sorry Illuminare doesn't seem to allow for copyright footers). Dr. Ford and I have complementary attitudes towards Solesmes markings: while I eschew icti and most poco rall. episemata, he is skeptical of a large variety of barlines ;-). I have found it prudent to change some punctuation of the text as well.

I very much regret the loss of the turtle dove! If a big barline were really wanted before "Altaria", one might prefer the BCP colon "..her young: even thine altar, ..." used in Burgess and Palmer, or even the NAB construction "As the sparrow finds a home and the swallow a nest to settle her young, My home is by your altars, ...".
