The Lord Is My Light Psalm 26 (27)

I am going though Paul Mason’s Psalms for All Time, which has become volume one of three.

This is his fine setting of the psalm for the second Sunday in Lent Year C and as a common psalm in Ordinary Time, but for those of us who will look upon this more as a liturgical song he notes its suitability for Baptism, Anointing and funerals.

I can’t find a single sheet for download for this one so you will need to buy the whole book (A$28.95). The text is in your missal but is the same as set by Kate Keefe. There are also no recordings to listen to anywhere so you can sing along with my backing.

In the absence of any YouTube clips of this setting that I may as well post John Bell’s setting. The text is different and the verses are for a choir, but nonetheless thrilling. It is in the collection I Will Not Sing Alone, which I could get around to doing – since I am now concentrating on local songwriters, I might make him an honorary Australian for the duration.
