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.

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (recording reproduced with permission)

7  God's law is perfect, and converts
         the soul in sin that lies:
      God's testimony is most sure,
         and makes the simple wise.

   8  The statutes of the Lord are right,
         and do rejoice the heart:
      The Lord's command is pure, and doth
         light to the eyes impart.

   9  Unspotted is the fear of God,
         and doth endure for ever:
      The judgments of the Lord are true
         and righteous altogether.

  10  They more than gold, yea, much fine gold,
         to be desired are:
      Than honey, honey from the comb
         that droppeth, sweeter far.

  11  Moreover, they thy servant warn
         how he his life should frame:
      A great reward provided is
         for them that keep the same.

Psalm 19 v7-11 (Tune: Moravia)

Text from the Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. Recorded during a wedding at St Jude's Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland (Glasgow). circa 2011

   7  I bless the Lord, because he doth
         by counsel me conduct;
      And in the seasons of the night
         my reins do me instruct.

 8  Before me still the Lord I set:
         since it is so that he
      Doth ever stand at my right hand,
         I shall not movèd be.

   9  Because of this my heart is glad,
         and joy shall be expressed
      Ev'n by my glory; and my flesh
         in confidence shall rest.

Psalm 23 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

 1  The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
   2     He makes me down to lie
      In pastures green: he leadeth me
         the quiet waters by
.
   3  My soul he doth restore again;
         and me to walk doth make
      Within the paths of righteousness,
         ev'n for his own name's sake.

   4  Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
         yet will I fear none ill:
      For thou art with me; and thy rod
         and staff me comfort still.

   5  My table thou hast furnished
         in presence of my foes;
      My head thou dost with oil anoint,
         and my cup overflows.

   6  Goodness and mercy all my life
         shall surely follow me:
      And in God's house for evermore
         my dwelling-place shall be.

Psalm 23 (Tune: Bays of Harris)

Psalm 100, Old 100th - Chris & Alison's Wedding

Text: Scottish Psalter (1650) (Meter: CM)

1  Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked
         in mine integrity:
      I trusted also in the Lord;
         slide therefore shall not I.

   2  Examine me, and do me prove;
         try heart and reins, O God:
   3  For thy love is before mine eyes,
         thy truth's paths I have trod

   4  With persons vain I have not sat,
         nor with dissemblers gone:
   5  Th' assembly of ill men I hate;
         to sit with such I shun.

   6  Mine hands in innocence, O Lord,
         I'll wash and purify;
      So to thine holy altar go,
         and compass it will I:

   7  That I, with voice of thanksgiving,
         may publish and declare,
      And tell of all thy mighty works,
         that great and wondrous are.

Psalm 26 (Tune: St Thomas)
