 1  God is our refuge and our strength,
         in straits a present aid;
   2  Therefore, although the earth remove,
         we will not be afraid:
  
    Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
   3     Though waters roaring make,
      And troubled be; yea, though the hills,
         by swelling seas do shake.
  
 4  A river is, whose streams do glad
         the city of our God;
      The holy place, wherein the Lord
         most high hath his abode.
  
 5  God in the midst of her doth dwell;
         nothing shall her remove:
      The Lord to her an helper will,
         and that right early, prove.

Psalm 1 (Tune: Spancil Hill)

(Verse)
Golden sand stuck to my skin
You laugh louder than the waves crashing in
I trace the freckles on your shoulder
But every day
The nights get colder

(Chorus)
I love you
Summer boy
Will you still be here when summer is over
When the leaves fall
Will you stay closer
I love you
Summer boy

(Verse 2)
The ice cream melts faster than we can eat
Your hand in mine
We walk these quiet streets
You tell me stories like they’re secrets to keep
But will you still whisper when the world falls asleep

(Chorus)
I love you
Summer boy
Will you still be here when summer is over
When the sky turns gray
Will you pull me closer
I love you
Summer boy

(Bridge)
Seasons change
But hearts can freeze
Promises hang like leaves in the trees
Will you be the sun in my winter’s chill
Or just a shadow
A maybe
A thrill

(Chorus)
I love you
Summer boy
Will you still be here when summer is over
When the warm fades
Will you stay or wander
I love you
Summer boy

Summer Boy

Bloom

[Verse 1]
Mapalad at banal
Sa’yo Panginoon
Sa unang buhay
Kami’y isinama roon
Walang kapangyarihan ang kamatayang huli
Pagkat sa Iyong piling
Buhay ay walang mali
[Chorus]
Magiging saserdote Mo
Sa liwanag ng pag-ibig
Sa trono Mong dakila
Kami’y walang ligalig
Sa wakas ng daigdig
Ikaw ang aming sandigan
Mapalad at banal
Sa Iyong kamay lubusan
[Verse 2]
Ang lambong ng gabi
Ngayo’y nahawi na
Sa liwanag Mong wagas
Puso’y tumama
Sa unang pagkabuhay
Kami’y nabuhay muli
Sa puso Mong tiyak
Pag-asa’y di mapapawi
[Chorus]
Magiging saserdote Mo
Sa liwanag ng pag-ibig
Sa trono Mong dakila
Kami’y walang ligalig
Sa wakas ng daigdig
Ikaw ang aming sandigan
Mapalad at banal
Sa Iyong kamay lubusan
[Bridge]
Ang dagat ng salamin
Naglalagablab ng ningning
Ang pangalan Mong dakila
Aming awit
Aming aliw
Korona’y inilalapag
Sa paanan ng Hari
Mapalad ang buhay
Sa Langit na di mapawi
[Chorus]
Magiging saserdote Mo
Sa liwanag ng pag-ibig
Sa trono Mong dakila
Kami’y walang ligalig
Sa wakas ng daigdig
Ikaw ang aming sandigan
Mapalad at banal
Sa Iyong kamay lubusan

Mapalad at Banal

Fraught with error, but a worthwhile endeavour.


Ps 145 v 17-21 Rockingham (Communion)

Psalm 143 sung a capella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at the 30th Glasgow Recital 2001 by a Free Church of Scotland Choir, used with permission. Meter: 66.66D

6  Lo, I do stretch my hands
       To thee, my help alone;
    For thou well understands
       All my complaint and moan:
    My thirsting soul desires,
       And longeth after thee,
    As thirsty ground requires
       With rain refreshed to be.

 7  Lord, let my pray'r prevail,
       To answer it make speed;
    For, lo, my sp'rit doth fail:
       Hide not thy face in need;
    Lest I be like to those
       That do in darkness sit,
    Or him that downward goes
       Into the dreadful pit.

 8  Because I trust in thee,
       O Lord, cause me to hear
    Thy loving-kindness free,
       When morning doth appear:
    Cause me to know the way
       Wherein my path should be;
    For why, my soul on high
       I do lift up to thee.

Psalm 143 (Tune: Hawarden)

13  Thy kingdom hath none end at all,
        It doth through ages all remain.
 14  The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
        The cast-down raiseth up again.

 15  The eyes of all things, Lord, attend,
        And on thee wait that here do live,
     And thou, in season due, dost send
        Sufficient food them to relieve.

 16  Yea, thou thine hand dost open wide,
        And ev'ry thing dost satisfy
     That lives, and doth on earth abide,
        Of thy great liberality.

 17  The Lord is just in his ways all,
        And holy in his works each one.
 18  He's near to all that on him call,
        Who call in truth on him alone.

Psalm 145 v13-18 (Tune: Herongate)

Psalm 23 Recorded by members of High Free Church, Stornoway(https://singpraise.net). Support the psalms: www.patreon.com/psalms

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: Tarwathie) [accompanied]

2 My safety cometh from the Lord,
who heav’n and earth hath made.

3 Thy foot he’ll not let slide, nor will
he slumber that thee keeps.
4 Behold, he that keeps Israel,
he slumbers not, nor sleeps.

5 The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade
on thy right hand doth stay:
6 The moon by night thee shall not smite,
nor yet the sun by day.

7 The Lord shall keep thy soul; he shall
preserve thee from all ill.
8 Henceforth thy going out and in
God keep for ever will.

Psalm 121 (Tune: Orlington)

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.

6 Like the leap of a calf he shakes Lebanon’s rocks,
And Sirion skips like a startled wild ox.
7 The voice of the LORD causes lightning to flash;
8 The voice of the LORD makes the wilderness crash.

The LORD makes the desert of Kadesh to shake;
9 The LORD causes oaks of the forest to quake.
The trees of the forest he strips of their leaves,
And he in his temple great glory receives.

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.

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.


3 Behold, the sparrow findeth out
an house wherein to rest;
The swallow also for herself
hath purchased a nest;
Ev’n thine own altars,* where she safe
her young ones forth may bring,
O thou almighty Lord of hosts,
who art my God and King.


4 Blessed are they in thy house that dwell,
they ever give thee praise.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength thou art,
in whose heart are thy ways:
6 Who passing thorough Baca’s vale,
therein do dig up wells;
Also the rain that falleth down
the pools with water fills.

1 O thou my soul, bless God the Lord;
and all that in me is
Be stirred up his holy name
to magnify and bless.

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.

1 I waited for the Lord my God,
and patiently did bear;
At length to me he did incline
my voice and cry to hear.
2 He took me from a fearful pit,
and from the miry clay,
And on a rock he set my feet,
establishing my way.

3 He put a new song in my mouth,
our God to magnify:
Many shall see it, and shall fear,
and on the Lord rely.
4 O blessed is the man whose trust
upon the Lord relies;
Respecting not the proud, nor such
as turn aside to lies.

5 O Lord my God, full many are
the wonders thou hast done;
Thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far
above all thoughts are gone:
In order none can reckon them
to thee: if them declare,
And speak of them I would, they more
than can be numbered are.
