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

 10  Be still, and know that I am God;
         among the heathen I
      Will be exalted; I on earth
         will be exalted high.

  11  Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
         is still upon our side;
      The God of Jacob our refuge
         for ever will abide.

Psalm 46 v10-11 (Tune: Wiltshire) "Be still, and know that I am God"

Psalm 8 v1-4 (Moravia)

Psalm 145: 1-7 (Tune: Herongate)

INVITO ALLE PACI (Parafrasi di 1 Cor 13, 1-8)

Come il mare è fatto di singole gocce d’acqua 
e se la metà soltanto di queste gocce fosse avvelenata, tutto il mare sarebbe avvelenato,
così la Pace Universale è costituita da piccole paci fra i singoli uomini, 
fra le singole famiglie e, se non vi sono sufficienti piccole paci, 
la Pace Universale è compromessa.

INVITATION TO PEACES (Paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 13:1-8)

Just as the sea is made up of individual drops of water, 
and if only half of these drops were poisoned, the entire sea would be poisoned,
so Universal Peace is made up of small peaces between individuals, 
between individual families, and if there are not enough small peaces, 
Universal Peace is compromised.

“Aspirate ai carismi più grandi.
Vi indicherò la via migliore.
Se parlassi la lingua degli angeli,
se cantassi stupende melodie 
e suonassi mirabili strumenti, 
ma… senza la Carità di Dio!
Nulla sarei, nulla sarei, nulla sarei, nulla sarei:
sono solo un bronzo che risuona.
Se i misteri e la scienza conoscessi
e la fede piena possedessi
e le mie sostanze dessi via,
non sono nulla, nulla sono,
se non vivo la Carità divina.
La carità è benigna.
Tutto spera nel fratello.
La Carità tutto sopporta!”

“Aspire to the greatest gifts.
I will show you the best way.
If I spoke the language of angels,
if I sang wondrous melodies,
and played wondrous instruments,
but… without the Charity of God!
I would be nothing, I would be nothing,
 I would be nothing, I would be nothing:
I am only a sounding gong.
If I knew mysteries and knowledge,
and possessed full faith,
and gave away my substance,
I am nothing, I am nothing,
if I do not live divine Charity.
Charity is kind.
It hopes for everything in its brother.
Charity endures all things!”

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

1 Lord, I will thee extol, for thou
hast lifted me on high,
And over me thou to rejoice
mad’st not mine enemy.

2 O thou who art the Lord my God,
I in distress to thee,
With loud cries lifted up my voice,
and thou hast healed me.

3 O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,
and rescu’d from the grave;
That I to pit should not go down,
alive thou didst me save.

4 O ye that are his holy ones,
sing praise unto the Lord;
And give unto him thanks, when ye
his holiness record.

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 16 (Tune: Moravia) @ St Jude's Free Presbyterian Wedding

2  O thou who art the Lord my God,
         I in distress to thee,
      With loud cries lifted up my voice,
         and thou hast healèd me.

   3  O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,

      Weeping may for a night endure,
         at morn doth joy arise.

Psalm 27 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)(Meter: CM)

7  O Lord, give ear unto my voice,
         when I do cry to thee;
      Upon me also mercy have,
         and do thou answer me.

   8  When thou didst say, seek ye my face,
         then unto thee reply
      Thus did my heart, above all things
         thy face, Lord, seek will I.

   9  Far from me hide not thou thy face;
         put not away from thee
      Thy servant in thy wrath: thou hast
         an helper been to me.

      O God of my salvation,
         leave me not, nor forsake:
  10  Though me my parents both should leave,
         the Lord will me up take.
