It was updated in 1987 to use more inclusive language, and included in several of Winter's books, including Songlines: Hymns, Songs, Rounds and Refrains for Prayer and Praise.
It was also included in the book Voices United published in 1996 by The United Church Publishing House, Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada - and still available from Amazon.
The tune is called simply VISIT. It has 3/4 time signature, and is published in the key of G with the first note of D.
It is not included on any of Winter's own CDs, and no sources of sheet music have been located, apart from the books mentioned above. Please leave a comment below if you are aware of any places where it is available.

Lyrics
The lyrics cannot be given here, because they are still copyright. However they are available on this website.The song are four verses, each with four lines. A brief outline is:
1 She walked in the summer through the heat on the hill ...
2 Fresh as a flower at the first ray of dawn ...
3 Hail, little sister, who heralds the spring ...
4 When you walk in the summer through the heat on the hill...
