    I am getting ready to start working on this with my choir for Ash Wednesday and general use throughout Lent. I would love to hear any ideas to polish it up before I distribute it.

    Free to use, copy and distribute if you wish.

    Liam,

    Quick question: why do you use a-flat in one bar and g-sharp in the next bar?
    [There could be a good reason, but I can't see it, so I'm hoping to be edumacated.]

    I was considering the A-flat to be a nonharmonic neighbor tone, referencing the opposite mode's iv chord. The next measure I considered the note to be a leading tone in a dim-vii of vi chord, so I wrote G#.

    I haven't had time to clean up the engraving on this piece, but it's in usable shape for Lent 2022!

    Here is a (non-definitive) phone recording from rehearsal last night:
