Abstract

Metrical psalm singing has featured regularly in the worship of the Reformed tradition in general, and of the Church of Scotland in particular, for over four hundred years, but is currently in a transitional phase, which offers both challenge and opportunity. This paper examines traditional practices, and considers their implications for future exercise of ministry. It also evaluates a Psalmody Festival designed for the Presbytery of Orkney, which sought to introduce new metrical psalm versions at regional level, and to offer a possible model for assisting the reawakening of local interest in the rich resources of the Psalter.
