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.

Psalm 19 - Evan

   6  Thou from the womb didst hold me up;
         thou art the same that me
      Out of my mother's bowels took;
         I ever will praise thee.

   7  To many I a wonder am;
         but thou'rt my refuge strong.
   8  Filled let my mouth be with thy praise
         and honor all day long.

   9  O do not cast me off, when as
         old age doth overtake me;
      And when my strength decayed is,
         then do not thou forsake me.

Psalm 71 v6-9 (Tune: Ayrshire)

1  Now Israel may say, and that truly,
    If that the Lord had not our cause maintained;
 2  If that the Lord had not our right sustained,
    When cruel men against us furiously
    Rose up in wrath, to make of us their prey;


 3  Then certainly they had devoured us all,
    And swallowed quick, for ought that we could deem;
    Such was their rage, as we might well esteem.
 4  And as fierce floods before them all things drown,
    So had they brought our soul to death quite down.


 5  The raging streams, with their proud swelling waves,
    Had then our soul o'erwhelmèd in the deep.
 6  But blessed be God, who doth us safely keep,
    And hath not giv'n us for a living prey
    Unto their teeth, and bloody cruelty.


 7  Ev'n as a bird out of the fowler's snare
    Escapes away, so is our soul set free:
    Broke are their nets, and thus escapèd we.
 8  Therefore our help is in the Lord's great name,
    Who heav'n and earth by his great pow'r did frame.

Psalm 124 (Tune: Old 124th)

Psalm 119 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at Glasgow RP Church, 2018.

52  Thy judgments righteous, O Lord,
        which thou of old forth gave,
     I did remember, and myself
        by them comforted have.

 53  Horror took hold on me, because
        ill men thy law forsake.
 54  I in my house of pilgrimage
        thy laws my songs do make.

 55  Thy name by night, Lord, I did mind,
        and I have kept thy law.
 56  And this I had, because thy word
        I kept, and stood in awe.

Psalm 119 Part 7 (Tune: St Andrew)

Recorded @ Arbroath Youth Weekend Febuary 2013
1650 scottish psalter

  2  Bless, O my soul, the Lord thy God,
        and not forgetful be
     Of all his gracious benefits
        he hath bestowed on thee.

  3  All thine iniquities who doth
        most graciously forgive:
     Who thy diseases all and pains
        doth heal, and thee relieve.

  4  Who doth redeem thy life, that thou
        to death may'st not go down;
     Who thee with loving-kindness doth
        and tender mercies crown:

  5  Who with abundance of good things
        doth satisfy thy mouth;
     So that, ev'n as the eagle's age,
        renewed is thy youth.
