1. 

Quão grande o amor do Pai por nós,

Tão vasto e sem medida

Pra dar Seu Filho em meu lugar

Ao pecador, a Vida.

Quão grande a dor da perda ali,

O Pai virou sua face

As marcas, em Seu filho, são,

A glória que, em mim, nasce


2.

Perceba o Homem numa cruz,

Meu pecado em seus ombros

Envergonhado eu ouço a mim,

Escarnecer, zombando

O meu pecado o segurou

Na cruz até a consumação

Seu último suspiro foi

A porta da minha redenção


3. 

Eu não me orgulharei então

Nas coisas deste mundo

Me orgulharei no meu Jesus

Na morte e na ressurreição

Que bem eu fiz pra merecer?

Resposta não posso lhe dar

Mas em meu coração eu sei

Minha dívida foi paga.

Reformed Hymns

Quão profundo o amor do Pai por nós

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.

1 Blessed is the one who turns away
from where the wicked walk,
Who does not stand in sinners’ paths
or sit with those who mock.

2 Instead he finds God’s holy law
his joy and great delight;
He makes the precepts of the LORD
his study day and night.

3 He prospers ever like a tree
that’s planted by a stream,
And in due season yields its fruit;
its leaves are always green.

4 Not so the wicked! They are like
the chaff that’s blown away.
5 They will not stand when judgment comes
or with the righteous stay.

6 It is the LORD who sees and knows
the way the righteous go,
But those who live an evil life
the LORD will overthrow.

Psalm 19 (Genevan Psalter)

I suppose the title should read 'found recordings' huh

Psalm 68 - Ericstane

Psalm 71 - Spiritus Vitae

Who go to sea in ships, and in
great waters trading be,
Within the deep these men God's works
and his great wonders see.

For he commands, and forth in haste
the stormy tempest flies,
Which makes the sea with rolling waves
aloft to swell and rise.

They mount to heav'n, then to the depths
they do go down again;
Their soul doth faint and melt away
with trouble and with pain.

They reel and stagger like one drunk,
at their wit's end they be:
Then they to God in trouble cry,
who them from straits doth free.

The storm is changed into a calm
at his command and will;
So that the waves, which raged before,
now quiet are and still.

Then are they glad, because at rest
and quiet now they be:
So to the haven he them brings,
which they desired to see.

Psalm 107v23-30

Psalm 42 from the Scottish Psalter of 1650. Recorded at 'Arbroath' youth weekend.

5  O why art thou cast down, my soul?
         why in me so dismayed?
      Trust God, for I shall praise him yet,
         his count'nance is mine aid.

      7  At the noise of thy water-spouts
         deep unto deep doth call;
      Thy breaking waves pass over me,
         yea, and thy billows all.

   8  His loving-kindness yet the Lord
         command will in the day,
      is song's with me by night; to God,
         by whom I live, I'll pray:

   9  And I will say to God my rock,
         Why me forgett'st thou so?
      Why, for my foes' oppression,
         thus mourning do I go?

Psalm 1b sung a capella from Sing Psalm (2003)(Produced by the Free Church of Scotland). Meter: 88.88.88

1 How blessed the one who does not walk
Where wicked men would guide his feet,
Who does not stand in sinners’ paths
Or sit upon the scorners’ seat.
2 The law of God is his delight,
His meditation day and night.

3 He prospers like a tree, which has
Been planted by a flowing stream,
And in its season yields its fruit;
Its leaves are always fresh and green.
In every act and every word
He knows the blessing of the LORD.

4 Not so the wicked: they are like
The chaff the wind will blow away.
5 They will not in the judgment stand,
Nor sinners with the righteous stay.
6 God knows the way the righteous go;
The wicked’s way he’ll overthrow.

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.

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.

his throne for judgment stands.

with justice rule the lands.

9 The LORD will be a hiding place

And he will be a strong defence

10 All those who know your name, O LORD,
in you their trust will place,
For you do not abandon those

(Words from The Psalms for Singing - A 21st Century Edition)

	3	Their soul within them fainted when	they hungered and did thirst.
		In trouble to the LORD they cried;	he saved them when distressed.

	4	Them also in a way to walk,	that straight is, he did guide,
		that they might to a city go,	in which they could reside.

	Let them give thanks now to the Lord	for love that never ends,
		and for his works of wonder done	unto the sons of men;

	6	For he the soul that thirsty is	does fully satisfy.
		With what is good, the hungry soul	he fills abundantly.

Text from: Psalms for Singing – A 21st Century Edition (2004)

1  SHOUT to God with joy all nations.
2  Sing the splendour of his name;
    make his praise resound with glory.
3 `Awesome are your works', proclaim.
 
   There in him let us be joyful;
7 he rules ever by his might,
   over all the nations watching;
   let not rebels rise to fight.
 
8 Bless our God, O all you peoples;
   let his praises loudly sound.
9 He has kept our souls still living,
   placed our feet on solid ground;
 
16  Come and listen, all God-fearers;
      I'll tell what he did for me.
17  With my mouth to him I cried, and
      with my tongue extolled was he.
 
18  Had I in my heart regarded
      sin, the Lord would not me hear;
19  God most certainly has heard me,
      and has listened to my prayer.
 
20 Blessed be God because he has not
     turned away from him my plea,
     and his cov'nant loving-kindness
     he has not withheld from me.

Psalm 66 (Tune: Ode to Joy)

13	Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and your dominion lasts from age to age.
14	The LORD sustains all those who fall; the bowed down
he raises up. 15All fix on you their gaze,
and you them feed. 16You open wide your hand;
so all that lives you satisfy.
m     		17	The LORD is righteous, pure in all his ways,
and all his deeds are truly kind.
 
18	The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all those who in truth call on his name.
19	He will fulfil the wants of those who fear him;
and he will hear their cry and will them save.
20	The LORD keeps all who show their love to him;
d     			the wicked, though, he will destroy.
f     		21	My mouth will praise the LORD, and all will bless
his holy name forevermore.

Psalm 145 B  v13-21 (Tune: O Store Gud / How Great Thou Art)

THE earth and the riches with which it is stored,
the world and its dwellers belong to the LORD,
for he on the seas its foundations has laid,
and firm on the waters its pillars has made.
 
	O who will the hill of the LORD now ascend,
or who in the place of his holiness stand?
	The man of pure heart and of hands without stain,
who has not sworn falsely or loved what is vain.
 
	He will from the LORD then a blessing receive;
the God of salvation will righteousness give.
	Thus looking to him is this whole present race,
all those who, like Jacob, are seeking your face.

Psalm 23 sung acapella from the Scottish Psalter of 1650.  

1. The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.

 2. My soul He doth restore again,
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for His own Name's sake.
 
3. Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear no ill,
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

 4. A table Thou hast furnished me
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

 5. Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me,
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

Psalm 2 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM) From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

1  Why rage the heathen? and vain things
         why do the people mind?
   2  Kings of the earth do set themselves,
         and princes are combined,

      To plot against the Lord, and his
         Anointed, saying thus,
   3  Let us asunder break their bands,
         and cast their cords from us.

   4  He that in heaven sits shall laugh;
         the Lord shall scorn them all.
   5  Then shall he speak to them in wrath,
         in rage he vex them shall.

   6  Yet, notwithstanding, I have him
         to be my King appointed;
      And over Zion, my holy hill,
         I have him King anointed.

   7  The sure decree I will declare:
         The Lord hath said to me,
      Thou art mine only Son; this day
         I have begotten thee.

   8  Ask of me, and for heritage
         the heathen I'll make thine;
      And, for possession, I to thee
         will give earth's utmost line.

7 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

8 But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might
and strong in battle is.

9 Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.

10 But who is he that is the King
of glory? who is this?
The Lord of hosts, and none but he,
the King of glory is.

 1  That man hath perfect blessedness,
         who walketh not astray
      In counsel of ungodly men,
         nor stands in sinners' way,

   2  Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:
         But placeth his delight
      Upon God's law, and meditates
         on his law day and night.

   3  He shall be like a tree that grows
         near planted by a river,
      Which in his season yields his fruit,
         and his leaf fadeth never:

   4  And all he doth shall prosper well
         The wicked are not so;
      But like they are unto the chaff,
         which wind drives to and fro.

   5  In judgment therefore shall not stand
         such as ungodly are; 
      Nor in th' assembly of the just
         shall wicked men appear.

   6  For why? the way of godly men
         unto the Lord is known:
      Whereas the way of wicked men
         shall quite be overthrown.

1 Praise God, my soul! With all my heart
Let me exalt his holy name.
2 Forget not all his benefits;
His praise, my soul, in song proclaim.
3 The LORD forgives you all your sins,
And heals your sickness and distress;
4 Your life he rescues from the grave,
And crowns you in his tenderness.

5 He satisfies your deep desires
From his unending stores of good,
So that, just like the eagle’s strength,
Your youthful vigour is renewed.
6 The LORD is known for righteous acts
And justice to downtrodden ones.
7 To Moses he made known his ways,
His mighty deeds to Israel’s sons.

8 The LORD is merciful and kind,
To anger slow, and full of grace.
9 He will not constantly reprove,
Or in his anger hide his face.
10 He does not punish our misdeeds,
Or give our sins their just reward.
11 How great his love—as high as heaven—
Towards all those who fear the LORD!

Receyue ye wisdomes lore:
Ye iudges strong: of right and wrong,
