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

1  O give ye praise unto the Lord,
       all nations that be;
    Likewise, ye people all, accord
       his name to magnify.

 2  For great to us-ward ever are
       his loving-kindnesses:
    His truth endures for evermore.
       The Lord O do ye bless.

Psalm 117 (Tune: Saxony)

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: Scottish Psalter (1650)  Recorded at Dowanvale Free Church of Scotland (Meter: CM)

 1  God's mercies I will ever sing;
         and with my mouth I shall
      Thy faithfulness make to be known
         to generations all.

   2  For mercy shall be built, said I,
         for ever to endure;
      Thy faithfulness, ev'n in the heav'ns,
         thou wilt establish sure.

   3  I with my chosen One have made
         a cov'nant graciously;
      And to my servant, whom I loved,
         to David sworn have I;

   4  That I thy seed establish shall
         for ever to remain,
      And will to generations all
         thy throne build and maintain.

   5  The praises of thy wonders, Lord,
         the heavens shall express;
      And in the congregation
         of saints thy faithfulness.

( 11. 11. 11.)
1 The LORD is my shepherd; no want shall I know.
2 He makes me lie down where the green pastures grow;
He leads me to rest where the calm waters flow.

3 My wandering steps he brings back to his way,
In straight paths of righteousness making me stay;
And this he has done his great name to display.

4 Though I walk in death’s valley, where darkness is near,
Because you are with me, no evil I’ll fear;
Your rod and your staff bring me comfort and cheer.

5 In the sight of my en’mies a table you spread.
The oil of rejoicing you pour on my head;
My cup overflows and I’m graciously fed.

6 So surely your covenant mercy and grace
Will follow me closely in all of my ways;
I will dwell in the house of the LORD all my days.

Psalm 23 (Tune: Jehovah Tsidkenu)

Used with permission of the Northern Presbytery Choir of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Ireland.

 1  How lovely is thy dwelling-place,
         O Lord of hosts, to me!
      The tabernacles of thy grace
         how pleasant, Lord, they be!

   2  My thirsty soul longs veh'mently,
         yea faints, thy courts to see:
      My very heart and flesh cry out,
         O living God, for thee.

     10  For in thy courts one day excels
         a thousand; rather in
      My God's house will I keep a door,
         than dwell in tents of sin.

  11  For God the Lord's a sun and shield:
         he'll grace and glory give;
      And will withhold no good from them
         that uprightly do live.

  12  O thou that art the Lord of hosts,
         that man is truly blest,
      Who by assured confidence
         on thee alone doth rest.

Psalm 84 v1,2,10-12 (Tune: Harington)

	4	One thing I’ll plead before the LORD,
			and this I’ll seek always:
		That I may come within God’s house
			and dwell there all my days—

		That on the beauty of the LORD
			I constantly may gaze,
		And in his house may seek to know
			direction in his ways.

	5	For in his dwelling he will keep
			me safe in troubled days;
		Within his tent he’ll shelter me,
			and on a rock me raise.

	6	My head will then be lifted high
			above my enemies;
		And in his tent I’ll sacrifice
			with shouts of joy and praise.
