Psalm 103 (Tune: The Homes of Donegal)

Performed in Heaven is a compact disc of metrical psalms recorded at the Psalmody Recitals, held each winter since 1971 (except 1977) at St Vincent Street Free Church in Glasgow, where sizeable congregations gathered from a variety of churches and denominations. The psalms on the compact disc are all sung by the entire congregation and, as such, reflect the unaffectedness of congregational praise. The recordings are an authentic reflection of the type of singing that has been heard in the Reformed churches of Scotland since the Reformation. In order to produce this unique compilation of congregational psalm-singing, it was necessary to re-master recordings made with the technology of an earlier era. Thus, the recordings themselves span a period of twenty-five years, with the majority being from the seventies or eighties.

VIENI SANTO SPIRITO (Sequenza di Pentecoste)
Vieni Santo Spirito,
manda a noi dal cielo
un raggio della tua luce.
Vieni, Padre dei poveri
Vieni, datore dei doni
Vieni, luce dei cuori.
       ………………………………
Dona ai tuoi fedeli,
che solo in Te confidano,
i tuoi santi doni.
Dona virtù e premio
Dona morte santa
Dona gioia eterna. 
Amen, Alleluia.

COME, HOLY SPIRIT (Pentecost Sequence)
Come, Holy Spirit,
send down from heaven
a ray of your light.
Come, Father of the poor

Come, Light of hearts.
      ………………………………
Grant to your faithful,
who trust in you alone,
your holy gifts.
Give them virtue and reward.
Give them a holy death.

8 Before me constantly
I set the LORD alone.
Because he is at my right hand
I’ll not be overthrown.

9 Therefore my heart is glad;
my tongue with joy will sing.
My body too will rest secure
in hope unwavering.

10 For you will not allow
my soul in death to stay,
Nor will you leave your Holy One
to see the tomb’s decay.

11 You have made known to me
the path of life divine.
Bliss shall I know at your right hand;
joy from your face will shine.

1 You mighty ones, give to the LORD as his right,
Ascribe to the LORD God both glory and might.
2 To the LORD’s name due glory and honour accord;
In beauty of holiness worship the LORD.

3 The LORD’s voice is over the waters abroad,
And thunder proceeds from the glorious God.
Above all the waters God’s thunder is heard;
4 A powèrful voice is the voice of the LORD.

The voice of the LORD is majestic and loud;
5 By the voice of the LORD the great cedars are bowed.
Yes, even the cedars of Lebanon tall,
The LORD breaks in pieces and shatters them all.

10 The LORD over floods sits as monarch alone;
The LORD sits for ever as King on his throne.
11 The LORD makes the strength of his people increase;
The LORD gives his people the blessing of peace.

Psalm 29 (Tune: St Denio)

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.


Ps 117 New Lydia (R)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. 
Sung by Free Church of Scotland Choir in Glasgow 1996 (recording reproduced with permission)

1  O sing a new song to the Lord,
         for wonders he hath done:
      His right hand and his holy arm
         him victory hath won.

   2  The Lord God his salvation
          hath caused to be known;
      His justice in the heathen's sight
          he openly hath shown.

   3  He mindful of his grace and truth
         to Isr'el's house hath been;
      And the salvation of our God
         all ends of th' earth have seen.

   4  Let all the earth unto the Lord
         send forth a joyful noise;
      Lift up your voice aloud to him,
         sing praises, and rejoice.
