INTRODUCTION This collection of liturgical songs, with guitar and string bass accompaniment

and optional instrumental descants, consists of responsorial psalms for congregational use. Normally the cantor will sing the refrain, this being repeated by all immediately, and again after each verse.

When there is two-part harmony given for the refrain, it may be song by solo

voices alone, or by the entire congregation, the top line of music then being used as the melody line.

The chords that are indicated are merely suggestions for a starting point, and

leave the individual performers the freedom to develop their own strum or picking patterns, Chords that are marked with an asterisk (*) can be found in graph form on page 35.

It is our hope that this music will prove to be for you, as it has for our monastic

community, a vehicle of peaceful, reflective and joyous prayer.

Brother Tobias Colgan Father Columba Kelly Monks of St. Meinrad Archabbey

How good and how pleasant (Ps132) [2:54]

This song was first composed for that moment in the monastic profession rite when the sign if peace is given to the newly-professed monks. For the ancient Hebrews, living in a desert country, perfumed olive oil and the morning dew relieved the dryness of their lives � like friendship.

There is one thing I as of the Lord (Ps26:1;4;13-14) [2:32]

This is a psalm of trust sung in the monastic profession rite. It is also an evening psalm: we are confident that the darkness of this world�s night can never blot out the light of Christ.

Holy, holy, holy (Ps 148:2;11-12;13) [2:56]

In this song all creatures are called upon to witness the splendor and the beauty of God. Worship is the great �equalizer,� because in the experience of worship all distinctions fall away: �There is no longer male or female, Jew or Greek, slave or free man.� There is only God and his children.

May you love be upon us (Ps32:2-3;6-7;20-22) [3:04]

Stringed instruments are often mentioned in the Bible in connection with the praise of God. We are exhorted to �play loudly with all your skill.� Composing a skillful melody is an important craft of the monastery and grows out of the care we take with our public prayer.

If today you hear his voice (Ps94:1-7) [2:58]

St. Benedict tells his monks to sing this psalm at the start of each day�s work of praise. It often rings in the hears of monks coming late to morning prayer.

We carry in our body (Ps85:1-2;5-6;9-10) [2:30]

This is a song of the Easter Mystery: how the sufferings of Jesus are repeated in the life o each Christian crying out in need and in trust, �Save me!� � and how the gift of new life is given through his marvelous resurrection.

My prayers come before you like incense (Ps140:1;2;3;8-9, adapted) [4:45]

This is the psalm for the setting of the sun. The repetition here of the word �listen� is an urgent plea for God to be present, particularly now that night is falling and darkness is covering the earth. In the Old Testament this psalm reminded the faithful Jew of the sacrifices that were offered in the temple at sunset. As Christians we are reminded of the one perfect sacrifice, Jesus offering himself to the Father.

Happy the People (Ps32:12-13;18-19 vs. #3: Cf. Eph. 1:17-18) [2:30]

The people of God are bound for the promised land and are called to continual hope in God�s promises.

This poor man called (Ps33:2-3;7;16;18;19;23) [2:31]

This song recalls in a direct and poignant way the plight of the poor. The poor know their need for God, and realize that their lives are empty without him. Persistent in prayer, God�s friends are his friends always, for richer or for poorer.

How great is your name (Ps8:2;4-9) [3:01]

This psalm celebrates the dignity of the human person and reminds us to reflect our responsibility toward all creatures.

Come, Lord, bring to us your peace (Ps 54:2-3; Ps41:2;3) [3:07]

This song describes our basic longing and is particularly appropriate to the season of Advent. We remember that Jesus promised us a peace that the world cannot give.

The love of the Lord is everlasting (Ps102:1-2;3-4;11-12;17) [3:07]

In this psalm of God�s love, everyone and everything is called to praise the Lord. The fear of the Lord of which the psalmist speaks is not fright; it is rather the reverence of a child for his parents.
