LORD, I LIFT MY SOUL TO THEE (Updated VI-12-24)

A rare hymn text based on Psalm 25, taken from The Psalter of 1912, wedded to original music, cleverly dubbed New 25th, written in a modern style emulating that of the late great Richard Proulx. Great for Advent, Lent, and even on some days during Ordinary Time.  Makes for a great hymn for I Advent (especially as many parishes still seem to prefer hymns over propers), as the first verse is a paraphrase of the Introit and Offertory appointed for that day.

UPDATE (VI-12-24): This hymn has now been included as the Offertory for I Advent in the forthcoming Christus Vincit Gradual.  Also appointed for the Thursday after Ash Wednesday and the Wednesday of II Lent.
