It was written by Australian Roman Catholic priest, liturgist and composer Fr Frank
Andersen MSC and originally published by Chevalier Publications in the
"Everything I Possess" collection (which was renamed Galilee Song). It is
also included in the collection Scripture in Song - The Music of Frank Andersen MSC, which is still available. Both of these include sheet music for the
hymn.
It is included on the Galilee Song recording, but at the time of writing there are no examples available on YouTube.
The tune was written by Fr Andersen: It has a 6/4 time signature, and in the key of G the first few notes are D_ D E D_ D DD E_ G F_A G D_, with accompanying chords G / D / G / G7 / D / G.
My help shall come from the Lord who made the heavens,
I will lift my eyes to the mountains,
My hope is the Lord.
Sing to the Lord, Loud be your song,
All peoples praise our God,
Whose love is fruitful and strong.
Turn to the Lord, give God your cares,
God's spirit in your heart
Knows every hope and prayer.
Come, eat the bread given for you,
Drink my Wine and live in me:
I will make my home in you.
