For the Fifth Sunday in Lent, John and Delmer are discussing texts which emphasize God as the Primary Actor in regeneration and our part in community covenant renewal. Works for me! Special musical guests are the Chancel Choir singers of Trinity United Methodist Church in Gainesville, Florida, performing The Ground, a brief setting of the mass portion Pleni sunt caeli, by Ola Gjeilo.

Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua.
Osanna, Osanna in excelsis.

Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini.
Benedictus qui venit.
Osanna, Osanna in excelsis.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi,
Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi,
Dona nobis pacem.

Heaven and earth are full
of thy glory.
Hosanna, hosanna in the highest.

Blessed is He who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Blessed is He who comes.
Hosanna in the highest.

Lamb of God,
who takest away the sins of the world,
Lamb of God,
who takest away the sins of the world,
Lamb of God,
grant us peace.
