Synopses & Reviews
The Celts had a great love of the Psalms, and this inspired them to write their own verse in praise of God and celebration of God's world. David Adam has collected these Celtic songs, which would have been used either in personal prayer or as part of the ritual of ordinary village life. Included are prayers for morning and evening, protection and guidance, blessing and consecration. All the songs are grouped together into sections for ease of use, and lend themselves as easily to group worship as to private prayer. This collection of Celtic psalms allows an ancient voice of praise to be heard again in our own time.
Synopsis
I offer Thee Every cloud that ever swept O'er the skies and broke and wept In rain, and with the flowerlets slept. My King. Each communicant praying Every angel staying Before Thy throne to sing. Adoramus Te This extract from the ancient Irish prayer, Glorificamus Te, beautifully captures both the Celtic peoples' devotion to the Psalter, and their desire to express their love for God in every situation. There is much to gain from their approach to worship. David Adam's wonderful compilation celebrates the enduring Celtic dreams of Creation, Protection, Glory, Guidance and Praising God, through songs and poems that have enriched his own private devotions and public ministry.
