With the new Roman Missal in my hand, and also with the Processional Book prepared by the Society of St Gregory for the Bishops Conference of England and Wales, I decided to have a go at writing some music for the Communion Antiphon for the 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time when I am next cantoring at my local parish. I used the first antiphon from the missal and Psalm 20 (19) from the Revised Grail for the verses.
Here are the results:

Tell me what you think. It isn't supposed to be high art, or Gregorian chant. It is supposed to be easily singable by a parish not too interested in music while they go to communion.
