Virtual Lord's Day Liturgy for the Fifth Sunday in Lent: March 29, 2020

As A Star On Cloudless Evenings by Holy Trinity Lutheran Church

The Holy Trinity Choir and Orchestra present "As A Star On Cloudless Evenings" at the 2019 Festival of Music for Advent and Christmas.

As a star on cloudless evenings will with greater brilliance shine, So resplendent was the maiden chosen for the Lord’s design: Fairest rose in all earth’s garden, blooming on a thorny vine, Virgin mother, pure of spirit, sprung from David’s royal line.

When the angel spoke to Mary, his good news brought great delight: He foretold the Light’s appearance when but half-spent was the night. It was God’s only begotten, the Creator’s gift supreme:

Jesus Christ, the word incarnate, sent to comfort and redeem.

From the stable to the hillside Mary’s faith would never dim:

In her tears and in her laughter she had pledged her life to him. As we celebrate her gladness, we recall her deepest pain, Tender and unselfish mother of the world’s most precious Gain.

To the Father, Son, and Spirit, glory, honor, thanks, and praise, As it was in the beginning and shall be for endless days.

Let our prayers rise up like incense to the Triune God adored,

Joining with the song of Mary as we magnify the Lord. (Text: Skinner Chavez-Melo, trans. Ronald F. Krisman)
