The Word of God

First Lesson seated Isaiah 60:1-6

Following the reading

Lector The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

Psalm 72:1-7, 10-14 seated sung by the Choir W. Turton

Give the King your justice, O God, *

and your righteousness to the King’s Son;

That he may rule your people righteously *

and the poor with justice;

That the mountains may bring prosperity to the people, *

and the little hills bring righteousness.

He shall defend the needy among the people; *

he shall rescue the poor and crush the oppressor.

He shall live as long as the sun and moon endure, *

from one generation to another.

He shall come down like rain upon the mown field, *

like showers that water the earth.

In his time shall the righteous flourish; *

there shall be abundance of peace till the moon shall be no more.

The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall pay tribute, *

and the kings of Arabia and Saba offer gifts.

All kings shall bow down before him, *

and all the nations do him service.

For he shall deliver the poor who cries out in distress, *

and the oppressed who has no helper.

He shall have pity on the lowly and poor; *

he shall preserve the lives of the needy.

He shall redeem their lives from oppression and violence, *

and dear shall their blood be in his sight.

und des Herren Lob verkündigen.

(Isaiah 60:6)

and proclaiming the praise of the Lord.

Die Kön’ge aus Saba kamen dar,

Gold, Weihrauch, Myrrhen brachten sie dar,

Alleluja!

(“Puer natus in Bethlehem,” verse 4, 1545)

2. ChoraleThe kings came out of Sheba,they brought gold, incense, myrrh along,Hallelujah!

3. Recitativ Mr. Burton

Was dort Jesaias vorhergesehn,

Das ist zu Bethlehem geschehn.

Hier stellen sich die Weisen

Bei Jesu Krippe ein

Und wollen ihn als ihren König preisen.

Gold, Weihrauch, Myrrhen sind

Die köstlichen Geschenke,

Womit sie dieses Jesuskind

Zu Bethlehem im Stall beehren.

Mein Jesu, wenn ich itzt an meine Pflicht gedenke,

Muß ich mich auch zu deiner Krippe kehren

Und gleichfalls dankbar sein:

Denn dieser Tag ist mir ein Tag der Freuden,

Da du, o Lebensfürst,

Das Licht der Heiden

Und ihr Erlöser wirst.

Was aber bring ich wohl, du Himmelskönig?

Ist dir mein Herze nicht zuwenig,

So nimm es gnädig an,

Weil ich nichts Edlers bringen kann.

3. Recitative Mr. Burton

What Isaiah prophesied there

has happened in Bethlehem.

Here the wise men stand

next to Jesus’ manger

and mean to praise him as their King.

Gold, incense, and myrrh are

the precious gifts,

with which they honor this Jesus-child

in a stable in Bethlehem.

My Jesus, when I think about my duty now,

I must also turn to Your manger

and likewise be thankful:

for this day is a day of joy for me,

since You, o Prince of Life,

have become a light to the heathens

and their Savior.

But what could I present to You, heaven’s King?

If my heart is not too insignificant for You,

then accept it graciously,

since I can offer nothing more noble.

4. Arie Mr. Burton

Gold aus Ophir ist zu schlecht,

Weg, nur weg mit eitlen Gaben,

Die ihr aus der Erde brecht!

Jesus will das Herze haben.

Schenke dies, o Christenschar,

Jesu zu dem neuen Jahr!

4. Aria Mr. Burton

Gold from Ophir is too meager;

away, away with vain gifts

that you mine from the earth!

Jesus wants to have your heart.

Offer this, o Christian throng,

to Jesus for the new Year!

Announcements seated

5. Recitativ Mr. Wilson

Verschmähe nicht,

Du, meiner Seele Licht,

Mein Herz, das ich in Demut zu dir bringe;

Es schließt ja solche Dinge

In sich zugleich mit ein,

Die deines Geistes Früchte sein.

Des Glaubens Gold, der Weihrauch des Gebets,

Die Myrrhen der Geduld sind meine Gaben,

Die sollst du, Jesu, für und für

Zum Eigentum und zum Geschenke haben.

Gib aber dich auch selber mir,

So machst du mich zum Reichsten auf der Erden;

Denn, hab ich dich, so muß

Des größten Reichtums Überfluß

Mir dermaleinst im Himmel werden.

5. Recitative Mr. Wilson

Do not scorn,

O You the light of my soul,

my heart, that I bring to You in humility;

it contains such things

within itself

that are the fruits of Your spirit.

The gold of faith, the incense of prayer,

the myrrh of patience are my gifts,

that You shall have, Jesus, for ever and ever

as Your due and as my offering.

Only give Yourself also to me,

then You will make me the richest one on earth;

for, having You,

the abundance of the greatest kingdom

must some day be mine in Heaven.

6. Arie Mr. Wilson

Nimm mich dir zu eigen hin,

Nimm mein Herze zum Geschenke.

Alles, alles, was ich bin,

Was ich rede, tu und denke,

Soll, mein Heiland, nur allein

Dir zum Dienst gewidmet sein.

6. Aria Mr. Wilson

Take me to Yourself as Your own,

take my heart as a present.

All, all that I am,

what I say, do, and think,

shall alone, my Savior,

be dedicated to Your service.

7. Choral

Ei nun, mein Gott, so fall ich dir

Getrost in deine Hände.

Nimm mich und mach es so mit mir

Bis an mein letztes Ende,

Wie du wohl weißt, daß meinem Geist

Dadurch sein Nutz entstehe,

Und deine Ehr je mehr und mehr

Sich in ihr selbst erhöhe.

(“Ich hab in Gottes Herz und Sinn,” verse 10, Paul Gerhardt 17)

7. Chorale

Well now, my God, so I settle

comforted into Your hands.

Take me and make it so for me

until my final end

as You best know, so that my spirit

is developed through its purpose,

and Your honor more and more

shall exalt itself.

OfferingAnthem

Christ is the World’s True Light W. K. Stanton (1891-1978)

Christ is the world’s true light its Captain of salvation; The Day Star clear and bright of ev’ry man and nation. New

life, new hope awakes wheree’er men own his sway; freedom bondage breaks, and night is turned to day. In Christ

all races meet, their ancient feuds forgetting, the whole round world complete, from sunrise to its setting. When Christ

is throned as Lord, men shall forsake their fear; to ploughshare beat the sword, to pruning hook the spear. One Lord in

one great name unite us all who own thee; cast out our pride and shame, that hinder to enthrone thee. The world has

waited long, has travailed long in pain, to heal its ancient wrong, come Prince of Peace and reign. –G. W. Briggs
