I always forget just how much is in each volume of Paul Mason’s Psalms for All Time until I actually sit down and do each psalm. It’s not just the psalms of course it’s the keyboard arrangements – that my BIAB backings don’t touch- his commentary and all his fine music that suggest applications beyond just when that psalm is in the liturgy. The YouTube clip below lets you know just how good the keyboard arrangements are.
This psalm from Volume 3 is for the Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C and the Twenty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time Year C, as well for St Patrick (and many other saints) and the Common of Pastors. It is obviously a song that could be used as a Recessional as well.
My backing sounds nothing like his version:
Response
Go out to all the world, and tell the Good News.
Tell the Good News.
Tell the Good News.
1 O praise the Lord, all you nations;
Acclaim him all you peoples.
2 For his mercy has prevailed over us;
And the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
