Notes: This song comes from the collection Sing for Joy: Psalm Settings for God’s Children (The Liturgical Press). It allows for improvisation and simple layering of textures. One group may sing an echo on the refrain by delaying their entrance by two beats, joining with the other singers on the last “I trust in you.” The bell part for the refrain can also be played on chimes or Orff instruments. The verses are like a simple chant melody and may be accompanied by some voices singing the counter melody. Harmony part for Stanzas and Bell part for refrain included.
