In the Radiance of Your Gaze (AOV 2/9)

A setting of Ps 121 by Australian composer Robyn Horner. You can hear a snippet and buy the individual sheet music at AOV.

 Antiphon

I will walk in the presence of my Lord,

In the land of your loved creation.

I will live in the radiance of your gaze,

From the warmth of your heart, my God.

Verse 1

When I lift my eyes up to the hills

I wonder who’ll be my help?

My help will be from the Lord who made me,

Made the heavens and the earth.

Antiphon

Verse 2

May the Lord be sure you do not fall,

Never sleeping, always your guard.

You shall be at peace, for the Lord is mindful

of your footsteps and your ways.

Antiphon

Verse 3

God is your protection and your shade,

Standing ever close by your side.

Neither the sun nor the moon shall harm you,

by day or by night.

Antiphon

Verse4

From evil, the Lord will keep your soul

and will hold your life in safe arms.

As you walk, your God will guard your going,

for ever your true strength.

Antiphon
