At the EF nearby we have been singing a hymn where one of the verses changes for each Sunday of Lent, bu I cannot for the life of me remember the name. Anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be?

Can you give more info? Do you remember a few words?

It’s probably *Tree of Life *by Marty Haugen

??? Not sure what you mean. In addition to the regular verses of Tree of Life, there are five alternate verses, one each for the five Sundays of Lent.

Well, maybe I am jumping to conclusions, but it seems to me that an EF Mass is NOT where you would hear anything by Marty Haugen. Most of those attending an EF Mass prefer chant, Latin hymns, or very old traditional Catholic hymns, and the organ is usually the only instrument permitted. I would be very surprised if Marty Haugen were sung at an EF Mass, but I could be mistaken.
 
Attende Domine? (Draw Near O Lord)

That is what I am doing. There are five verses in our missalette and I am using a different one each week.

I gotcha now. Maybe that parish has an open-minded music director who introduced his congregation to an “18th century Lenten hymn by the German composer Martinus VonHaugendorf.” 🙂 After all, it is suggested that the refrain of *Adoremus Te, Christe *be sung as a descant to the verses.
