You Will Draw Water Joyfully

This is Isaiah 12, which can be used as the “psalm” for the Baptism of the Lord Year B, as well as Easter Vigil and Sacred Heart (B).

For some Australian Catholics, we can only hear Frank Andersen’s lively chorus, so this is refreshingly different. Mason’s sheet music never has typos, but the “Lord” is missing from the text where I have put it in brackets.

This is by Paul Mason from Psalms for All Time Volume 3.

I must have been getting bored because this is the backing I made:

This is somewhat more sensible:

Response

You will draw water joyfully from the springs of salvation.

Draw water joyfully.

1 Behold, God is my salvation!

I trust and will not be afriad,

For the [Lord] is my strength and my praise,

and he has been my salvation.

With joy you will draw water from the springs of salvation.

2 Give thanks to the [Lord] invoke his name;

Make known among the peoples his deeds;

Proclaim that his name is exalted.

3 Sing to the [Lord] for he has wrought wonders;

Let this be known through all the earth.

Shout aloud and sing praise, shout and sing praise,

You who dwell in Zion.

Fo great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.
