Let All the Earth Cry Out Psalm 65 (66)

This is the psalm for the sixth Sunday of Easter Year A, but also a seasonal Psalm for the Easter Season. It is from Paul Mason’s Psalms for All Time. I have the first edition, but he now sells the second edition with some corrections and one extra psalm as volume one of a three volume series.

He notes its use for Gifts and also as a communion song in the weeks after Epiphany, but this can also just be looked at as a hymn for times when rejoicing is appropriate. I note Amanda McKenna’s setting adds an Alleluia to the “Let all the earth cry out to God with joy,” refrain and not to be outdone Mason adds two.

If you don’t have the text in your missal, it is the same one set by Kate Keefe here … or just buy Mason’s book.

The music specifies a “joyful lilt”. I can’t hear any lilt in my backing unfortunately.
