    * CHIMES *

    O Great MysteryI Wonder as I Wander ............................................................. J. Aaron McDermid

    I wonder as I wander out under the sky, How Jesus the Savior did come for to die. For poor ord’ry people like you and like I: I wonder as I wander out under the sky.

    When Mary birthed Jesus ‘twas in a cow’s stall, With wise men and farmers and shepherds and all. But high from God’s heaven a star’s light did fall, And the promise of ages it then did recall.

    If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing, A star in the sky, or a bird on the wing, Or all of God’s angels in heav’n for to sing, He surely could have it, ‘cause he was the King.

    Stars (excerpt) ............................................................................... Ēriks Ešenvalds

    Alone in the night On a dark hill With pines around me Spicy and still

    And a heaven full of stars Over my head White and topaz And misty red

    Myriads with beating Hearts of fire The aeons Cannot vex or tire

    Audience:Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her king; let every heart prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.

    Joy to the world, the savior reigns! Let all their songs employ; while fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy, repeat the sounding joy, repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

    I N T E R L U D E – A U D I E N C E P L E A S E S T A N D

    Night of Silence ................................................................................Daniel Kantor arr. John Ferguson & Joshua A. Evanovich ’07

    Cold are the people, winter of life, we tremble in shadows this cold endless night, frozen in the snow lie roses sleeping, flowers that will echo the sunrise, fire of hope is our only warmth, weary, its flame will be dying soon.

    Voice in the distance, call in the night, on wind you enfold us, you speak of the light, gentle on the ear you whisper softly, rumors of a dawn so embracing, breathless love awaits darkened souls, soon will we know of the morning.

    Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, alles schläft; einsam wacht nur das traute hoch heilige Paar. Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar, Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh! Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh!

    Spirit among us, shine like the star, Your light that guides shepherds and kings from afar, shimmer in the sky so empty, lonely, rising in the warmth of your son’s love, star unknowing of night and day, Spirit, we wait for your loving son.

    (PLEASE REMAIN SEATED AND JOIN IN SINGING AS DIRECTED)

    Silent Night, Holy Night! All is calm, all is bright

    ’round yon virgin mother and child. Holy infant, so tender and mild,

    sleep in Heavenly peace, sleep in Heavenly peace.

    Named after the Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, Germany, Wartburg College traces its roots to 1852, when pastor Wilhelm Löhe of Neuendettelsau, Bavaria, sent Georg Grossmann and five students to found a teacher-training school for German immigrants in Saginaw, Mich. The college moved several times before establishing a permanent home in Waverly in 1935.

    A liberal arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Wartburg is dedicated to challenging and nurturing students for lives of leadership and service as a spirited expression of their faith and learning. The college enrolls 1,505 students, who come from 38 U.S. states and 59 countries. Wartburg awards Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Music Education, Bachelor of Music Therapy, and Master of Arts in Music Therapy degrees. Its more than 50 academic majors include the state’s oldest undergraduate social work major and the only music therapy major offered by an Iowa private college.
