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.

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 1 a (Tune: Creator)

From the Scottish Psalter of 1650

 1  Upon the hills of holiness
         he his foundation sets.
   2  God, more than Jacob's dwellings all,
         delights in Zion's gates.

   3  Things glorious are said of thee,
         thou city of the Lord.
   4  Rahab and Babel I, to those
         that know me, will record:

      Behold ev'n Tyrus, and with it
         the land of Palestine,
      And likewise Ethiopia;
         this man was born therein.

   5  And it of Zion shall be said,
         This man and that man there
      Was born; and he that is most High
         himself shall stablish her.

   6  When God the people writes, he'll count
         that this man born was there.
   7  There be that sing and play; and all
         my well-springs in thee are.

Recorded at youth Psalm sing @ Reformed Presbyterian International Covenanter holiday conference 2014  in Gartmore. (Meter: 87.87)

	Blessèd is the man who truly
		finds his help in Jacob’s God;
		blessèd is the man whose hope is
		centred on his God the LORD.
 
	4	Maker of the earth and heaven,
		he has made the mighty deep,
		and all things contained within them;
		he will truth forever keep.

	5	He will surely deal in justice
		for all those oppressed that be.
		Food the LORD gives to the hungry,
		and he sets the pris’ners free.

	6	Sight the LORD gives to the blind ones;
		those bowed down the LORD will raise,
		and the LORD shows love to all those	
who are righteous in their ways.

	7	Foreigners the LORD takes care of; 
		widows, orphans he’ll support,
		but the way of all the wicked
		he will turn aside and thwart.

f	8	Yes, the LORD will reign forever;
		Zion, your own God he is
		through unending generations. 
ff		Hallelujah! Give him praise!

  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

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.

Recorded @ Airdrie RPC during morning worship

1   		LISTEN to my words, O LORD,
    and my sighs before you lay.
2	Hear my cry, my king, my God;
    help me, for to you I pray.
 
2   	3	With the morning light, O LORD,
    you will hear my voice, my plea.
In the morning I will pray,
    and I'll wait expectantly.
 
3   	4	Truly you are not a God
    who in evil takes delight.
Evil will not dwell with you,
5	    nor the proud stand in your sight.
 
4   		You hate all who evil do.
6	    You will liars all destroy;
for the LORD abhors all who
    bloodshed and deceit employ;
 
mf     	5   	7	But in your abundant grace,
    to your house I will draw near;
looking to your holy place,
    there I'll worship in your fear.
 
m     	6   	8	Since, O LORD, my enemies
    for my soul do lie in wait,
lead me in your righteousness;
    make your way before me straight.
 
7   	9	On their words you can't rely;
    in their heart destruction's found.
Like an open grave's their throat;
    with deceit their words abound.
 
p     	8   	10	Hold them guilty, O my God;
    them for all their sins expel.
In their own schemes let them fall,
    for against you they rebel.
 
mf     	9   	11	Those who refuge take in you,
    let them ever shout for joy.
Shelter those who thus are glad.
    Those who love your name rejoice;
 
10   	12	And a blessing rich, O LORD,
    on the righteous man you'll pour.
With your favour, as a shield,
    you'll surround him evermore.

Psalm 133 sung acapella from The Scottish Metrical Psalter of 1650. (Meter: CM)

1  Behold, how good a thing it is,
       and how becoming well,
    Together such as brethren are
       in unity to dwell!

 2  Like precious ointment on the head,
       that down the beard did flow,
    Ev'n Aaron's beard, and to the skirts,*
       did of his garments go.

 3  As Hermon's dew, the dew that doth
       on Zion' hills descend:
    For there the blessing God commands,
       life that shall never end.

Psalm 133 (Tune: Eastgate)

5	May just men flourish in his days,
		and may there be true peace,
		which will abound through ages all,
		until the moon will cease.

	6	From sea to sea may he rule, from
		the River to earth’s end.
		May desert folk before him bow,
		to dust his foes descend.

	7	May kings of Tarshish and the isles
		to him then tribute pay;
		may kings of Sheba, Seba too,
		before him gifts then lay.

	8	May all kings down before him bow;
		may nations all him serve;
		for he the needy saves who call,
		the poor who no help have.

Psalm 72 v7-13 (Tune: St Lawrence)

11  O children, hither do ye come,
         and unto me give ear;
      I shall you teach to understand
         how ye the Lord should fear.

  12  What man is he that life desires,
         to see good would live long?
  13  Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,
         and from ill words thy tongue.

  14  Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,
         pursue it earnestly.
  15  God's eyes are on the just; his ears
         are open to their cry.

  16  The face of God is set against
         those that do wickedly,
      That he may quite out from the earth
         cut off their memory.

  17  The righteous cry unto the Lord,
         he unto them gives ear;
      And they out of their troubles all
         by him delivered are.

  19  The troubles that afflict the just
         in number many be;
      But yet at length out of them all
         the Lord doth set him free.

Psalm 100 (Tune: Lobe Den Herren)

1  By Babel's streams we sat and wept,
       when Zion we thought on.
 2  In midst thereof we hanged our harps
       the willow-trees upon.

 3  For there a song required they,
       who did us captive bring:
    Our spoilers called for mirth, and said,
       A song of Zion sing.

 4  O how the Lord's song shall we sing
       within a foreign land?
 5  If thee, Jerus'lem, I forget,
       skill part from my right hand.

 6  My tongue to my mouth's roof let cleave,
       if I do thee forget, 
    Jerusalem, and thee above
       my chief joy do not set.

 7  Remember Edom's children, Lord,
       who in Jerus'lems day,
    Ev'n unto its foundation,
       Raze, raze it quite, did say.

 8  O daughter thou of Babylon,
       near to destruction;
    Blessed shall he be that thee rewards,
       as thou to us hast done.

 9  Yea, happy surely shall he be
       thy tender little ones
    Who shall lay hold upon, and them
       shall dash against the stones.

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.

      Upon me also mercy have,

   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.

         shall be who hate the just.
  22  The Lord redeems his servants' souls;
         none perish that him trust.

Psalm 34 v19-22 (Tune: Wiltshire)
