Notes: |
Responsive refrain to reading of Psalm 105 |
Text Information:This psalm refrain quotes (with a few modifications) Lamentations 3:22–23, and the double singing of the final two phrases accentuates a sense of wonder. Finding ways to put scripture, especially psalms, to music has long been a characteristic of the Reformed tradition.
