5 is also off Errol Holt's Visions of Africa - Easy Niah man.

I'll listen to it later but I think 3 is - 'Jah Light', and I'm pretty sure there's a version of 4 on it -'Happiness'.

Long time since I played that LP so I'll check it.

The lyrics of Song 3 remind me of Prince Far I in "Black reggae music", but I'm really not sure.
But I think the second phrase is "whom shall I fear"

3 is Errol on Visions of Africa, I'm listening to it now.

But the lyric is not 'who shall have faith', it is 'who shall I have fear (of)'

Of course, the lyrics are a Psalm, so expect it to feature elsewhere, especially in Far I's work. But given that many of the rest are from this Visions LP, I'm guessing so is this one.
