Hi CJM,
Thank you for the most beautiful setting of the psalm 61 I have ever heard. It caputures the longing in the verse and brings out the depth of the meaning in the refrain. It is truly focusing the attention of the listener to the longing in the heart of the psalmist. A truly wonderful gift you have. Take Care
God Bless

Thank you Peter – glad you like it. It is such a beautiful text and was a real joy to set. Let us know how it goes when you use it in the parish. God bless, you… JB
Hi CJM,
I used the psalm yesterday. It went down extremely well.The whole congregation joined in with the response. It is such an accessible refrain. Have told people where it came from. Do you have a setting of psalm 41 Like the dear yearns for running streams so my soul is yearning for you, my God. Thank you again for the beautiful setting of psalm 61. Keep doing God’s good work.
Take Care God Bless
