Evensong at Guildford Cathedral, 12 March 1966:
(Psalm 65 [Philip Taylor]; Psalm 66 [Edward Cutler]; Psalm 67 [Charles South])
1 Thou, O God, art | praised in | Sion : and unto thee shall the | vow . be per- | formed . in Je- | rusalem.
2 Thou that | hearest . the | prayer : unto | thee shall | all flesh | come.
3 My misdeeds pre- | vail a- | gainst me : O be thou | merci-ful | unto . our | sins.
4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and re- | ceivest . unto | thee : he shall dwell in thy court * and shall be satisfied with the pleasures of thy house, | even . of thy | holy | temple.
5 Thou shalt show us wonderful things in thy righteousness, O God of | our sal- | vation : thou that art the hope of all the ends of the earth * and of them that | remain . in the | broad | sea.
6 Who in his strength setteth | fast the | mountains : and is | girded . a- | bout with | power.
7 Who stilleth the | raging . of the | sea : and the noise of his | waves . and the | madness . of the | people.
8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts of the earth * shall be | afraid . at thy | tokens : thou that makest the outgoings of the | morning . and | evening . to | praise thee.
9 Thou visitest the earth, and | blessest | it : thou | makest . it | very | plenteous.
10 The river of God is | full of | water : thou preparest their corn, for | so . thou pro- | videst . for the | earth.
11 Thou waterest her furrows * thou sendest rain into the little | valleys . there- | of : thou makest it soft with the drops of rain, and | blessest . the | increase | of it.
12 Thou crownest the year | with thy | goodness : and thy | clouds | drop | fatness.
13 They shall drop upon the | dwellings . of the | wilderness : and the little hills shall re- | joice on | every | side.
14 The folds shall be | full of | sheep : the valleys also shall stand so thick with corn, that | they shall | laugh and | sing.
GLORIA
1 O be joyful in God, | all ye | lands : sing praises unto the honour of his Name; | make his | praise . to be | glorious.
2 Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou | in thy | works! : through the greatness of thy power * shall thine enemies be found | liars | unto | thee.
3 For all the | world shall | worship thee : sing of | thee, and | praise thy | Name.
4 O come hither, and behold the | works of | God : how wonderful he is in his doing to- | ward the | children . of | men.
5 He turned the sea into | dry | land : so that they went through the water on foot; there did | we re- | joice there- | of.
6 He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes be- | hold the | people : and such as will not believe * shall not be | able | to ex- | alt themselves.
7 O praise our | God, ye | people : and make the | voice . of his | praise . to be | heard;
8 Who holdeth our | soul in | life : and suffereth | not our | feet to | slip.
9 For thou, O | God, hast | proved us : thou also hast tried us, | like as | silver is | tried.
10 Thou broughtest us | into . the | snare : and laidest | trouble . up- | on our | loins.
11 Thou sufferedst men to ride | over . our | heads : we went through fire and water, and thou broughtest us out | into . a | wealthy | place.
12 I will go into thine house with | burnt- | offerings : and will pay thee my vows * which I promised with my lips * and spake with my mouth | when I | was in | trouble.
13 I will offer unto thee fat burnt-sacrifices, with the | incense . of | rams : I will | offer | bullocks . and | goats.
14 O come hither, and hearken, all | ye that . fear | God : and I will tell you what he hath | done | for my | soul.
15 I called unto him | with my | mouth : and gave him | praises | with my | tongue.
16 If I incline unto wickedness | with mine | heart : the | Lord | will not | hear me.
17 But | God hath | heard me : and con- | sidered . the | voice . of my | prayer.
18 Praised be God, who hath not cast | out my | prayer : nor | turned his | mercy | from me.
GLORIA
1 God be merciful unto | us, and | bless us : and show us the light of his countenance, and be | merci-ful | unto | us;
2 That thy way may be | known up-on | earth : thy saving | health a- | mong all | nations.
3 Let the people | praise . thee O | God : yea, let | all the | people | praise thee.
4 O let the nations re- | joice . and be | glad : for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and | govern . the | nations . upon | earth.
5 Let the people | praise . thee O | God : let | all the | people | praise thee.
6 Then shall the earth bring | forth her | increase : and God, even our own | God, shall | give us . his | blessing.
7 God | shall | bless us : and all the | ends . of the | world shall | fear him.
