A Celtic Psaltery
Compiled by David Adam

There is much to gain from looking at the Celtic approach to Christianity. David Adam's wonderful compilation celebrates the enduring Celtic themes of Creation, Protection, Glory, Guidance and Praising God, through songs and poems that have enriched his own private devotions and public ministry.

The following extract from the ancient Irish prayer 'Glorificamus Te', beautifully captures both the Celtic people's devotion to the Psalter and their desire to express their love for God in every situation.

A Celtic Psaltery

I offer to 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!
