Christian Prayer Hymn music

[BeeSweet]

Where can I find the music notation for the hymns used in LOTH / Christian Prayer? Specifically, I use the Shorter Christian Prayer. The Hymns are listed, but no music notation. The only one I’ve come across yet that I know the music to is “Morning Has Broken”, but the tune I know is from Cat Stevens (who is now Muslim BTW)!!

Almost any hymnal will contain a good majority of the hymns for LOTH. Oregeon Catholic Press’s hymnal (I hear some of you hissing ) does contain Morning Has Broken. Since you only need the melody line, just a copy of the hymnal should suffice.

Cat Stevens’s recording did use the original melody for Morning Has Broken, but his accompaniment is his own treatment.

Don’t give Cat Stevens credit for that hymn or its tune. The tune is called “Bunessan” and the lyrics are by Eleanor Farjeon, dating back to 1931.

The regular-print edition of the one-volume Christian Prayer has the musical notation for the hymns.

I spent time collecting MIDI’s for many of the LotH tunes. Here is a link to the .zip file

This is exactly why I got that particular book. I wanted one that had the musical notations in it so I would have an idea how the songs are supposed to be sung.
Speaking of the hymn “Morning has broken” there is a really pretty yellow rose named for that hymn.
