- Your loving mercy
- Is as high as Heaven
- And your truth
- So perfect
- I live in sorrow
- Imprisoned
- You are my light
- Your glory, my support
- Behold not with malevolence
- The sins of man
- But forgive
- And cleanse
- And so, o Lord
- Protect us beneath your wings
- And let peace be our portion
- Now and forever more
- Amen
- Is as high as Heaven
