Fifth Sunday of Eastertide - 10 May 2020 - Mothers' Day
Listen to an organ prelude: Der Tag, der ist so freudenreich
(O Hail This Brightest Day of Days)
  • Chorale harmonization by J.S. BACH
  • Chorale prelude by Dietrich BUXTEHUDE

Sing along with the hymn: He Is Arisen! Glorious Word! - LBW 138
Tune: Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern
    He is arisen! Glorious Word!
    Now reconciled is God, my Lord;
    The gates of heaven are open.
    My Jesus rose triumphantly,
    And Satan's arrows broken lie,
    Destroyed hell's fiercest weapon.
    Oh, hear, what cheer!
    Christ victorious, Rising glorious, Life is giving.
    He was dead, but now is living!
Listen to a Piano Interlude
"Like as a Mother"
Consolation, Op 30, No. 3
by Felix MENDELSSOHN
Played on the Boston Grand Piano
    Like as a mother, God comforteth His children;
    Comfort is calm, that bids all tumult cease;
    Comfort is hope and courage for endeavor,
    Comfort is love, whose home abides in peace.
Listen to a Harp Interlude
"Nocturne"
by Marcel GRANDJANY
Played on the Witcher Lever Harp

Sing along with the hymn: Christ Is Risen! Alleluia!
LBW 131 - Tune: Morgenlied
    Christ is risen! Alleluia! Risen our victorious head!
    Sing his praises! Alleluia! Christ is risen from the dead!
    Gratefully our hearts adore him As his light once more appears;
    Bowing down in joy before him, Rising up from griefs and tears.
    Christ is risen! Alleluia! Risen our victorious head!
    Sing his praises! Alleluia! Christ is risen from the dead!
    Christ is risen! All the sadness Of our Lenten fast is over;
    Through the open gates of gladness He returns to life once more;
    Death and hell before him bending See him rise, the victor now,
    Angels on his steps attending, Glory round his wounded brow.
    Christ is risen! Alleluia! Risen our victorious head!
    Sing his praises! Alleluia! Christ is risen from the dead!
    Christ is risen! Henceforth never Death or hell shall us enthrall;
    Be we Christ's, in him forever We have triumphed over all.
    All the doubting and dejection Of our trembling hearts have ceased;
    Hail the day of resurrection! Let us rise and keep the feast.
    Christ is risen! Alleluia! Risen our victorious head!
    Sing his praises! Alleluia! Christ is risen from the dead!
