I keep forgetting just how much Paul Mason packs into each volume of his Psalms for All Time.
I’m still in Volume 3 with the psalm for the Feast of the Holy Angels. He has SATB for the response again, if you are using a choir.
This is an alernative to the YooHoo song (aka “On Eagles Wings”) if you need a break from that one. It is more subtle and has the original text so why not.
My backing is just the melody on BIAB as usual.
Response
He has put his angels in charge of you,
To guard you in all of your ways.
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
And abides in the shade of the Almighty,
Says the Lord, “My refuge, my stronghold,
My God in whom I trust!”
2 He will free you from the snare of the fowler,
From the destructive plague;
He will conceal you with his pinions,
And under his wings you will find refuge.
3 You will not fear the terror of the night,
Nor the arrow that flies by day,
Nor the plague that prowls in the darkness,
Nor the scourge that lays waste at noon.
4 Upon you no evil shall fall,
No plague approach your tent.
For you he has commended his angels to keep you,
Keep you in all your ways.
