MUSIC NOTE

Welcome to this last, fairly quiet week of Summer Light. I invite you to pray for the students, faculty, and staff of Walla Walla University as life speeds up considerably over the next two weeks. Please join me in thanking three special musicians today. Bruce Toews, of the School of Business, leads our praise band; Gina Lincoln, a senior music and math major, shares her singing; and Bethany Foster, a member of our congregation and the director of music at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, again serves as guest organist.

As you prepare your heart to worship God, I invite you to meditate on today’s psalm, perhaps the most beloved of all psalms, number 23. We get to sing two paraphrases of this passage today, one from the Scottish Psalter (Hymn No.546, 1650) and one by Isaac Watts (Hymn No.104, 1719). Reading in a single setting one or two bible versions of Psalm 23 plus these two paraphrases provides a rich worship experience. The first part of Isaac Watts’ version is given here. 

My Shepherd will supply my need,
Jehovah is His name.
In pastures fresh He makes me feed
Beside the living stream.

He brings my wandering spirit back
When I forsake His ways,
And leads me, for His mercy’s sake,
In paths of truth and grace.

-Kraig Scott
