Other Songs for Epiphany:
I have always liked this song. The refrain is simple, singable, and can be used as a call and response if so desired. Verse one states so clearly, “Though darkness covers and we are blinded by sin our God shall save us and we shall walk in the light.” This is a great entrance song, and might also be used during the Preparation of the Gifts. (From the CD Cry the Gospel)
A very upbeat setting of this text. Get some percussion going and some singers who can hold their own and this is a great opening to the Mass on Epiphany Sunday. You’ll want to teach the refrain and verse parts to the assembly (they’re the same) so they can truly participate. (From the CD 10,000 Angels.)

I love the feel and melody of this song. The verses are powerful and singable for all, though a soloist would serve them well. The refrain is very singable, especially for a Psalm setting. I seem to use this song whenever I get the chance!
