Christmas at St. Olaf 2010

Hail the heav’n born Prince of Peace. The loneliness of a Prince of Peace

Must be profound.It is a rose in winter,

A melody in a silent night, An infant cradled with the animals,

Out of sight and out of mindIn this world’s restless throb.

Where, in the shards of a broken world,Is any Prince of Peace’s realm?

Where the waiting kingdom? Where the citizens of peace? It must seem to such a prince

A cruel and bitter joke:The land of peace so uninhabited

Though all are called to make it home.

Humanity can lose its way -- Like some poor planet gone awry

Spinning backwards into its own darkness, Not forward toward the sun.

Where there is no peace, how can one be Prince of Peace? Only by creating it, by making it anew.

And can it be? Will God speak yet again and say“Let there be peace?”

Yes, yes, yes. Here is the word made flesh! Child Emmanuel comes among us like a sun,

Not cursing those who walk in darkness, But bringing them great light;

Not demanding that we learn unaided how to sing But bringing us a song;

Not scorning our burned-over, unused soil, But planting, tending, nurturing seeds,

’Till his own peace takes root in us,And roses everywhere take bloom.

Born to raise each child of earthBorn to give us second birth.

the 99th annual

St. Olaf Christmas FestivalSt. Olaf College · Northfield , Minnesota

or many people over the years, the celebration of the Advent-Christmas-

Epiphany season has begun with the annual St. Olaf Christmas Festival,

a cherished tradition of the college for nearly a century. The first festival in 1912 was

a musical program for the college community, planned and directed by F. Melius

Christiansen, founder of the St. Olaf Music Department. The festival continues as an

outgrowth of Christian conviction and an expression of the rich musical heritage at

St. Olaf, a college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

Tonight the St. Olaf Choir, the St. Olaf Orchestra, the St. Olaf Cantorei, the St. Olaf

Chapel Choir, the Manitou Singers, and the Viking Chorus will perform both as

individual groups and as a massed ensemble.

Please hold your applause until the end, and refrain from using cameras and video or audio recorders. Please turn off all

pagers and cellular phones.

The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light

Born for us Given to us

Messiah, Prince of PeaceDaniel Kallman

ReadingJohn 1:1–5, 14a

Lo, How a RoseMichael Praetoriusarr. Robert Scholz

This night a wondrous revelation A great and mighty wonder,Makes known to me God’s love and grace; A full and holy cure,The Child that merits adoration The Virgin bears the Infant,Brings light to our benighted race. The Word Incarnate sure.

Lo, how a Rose e’er bloomingFrom tender stem hath sprung!Of Jesse’s lineage comingAs prophets long have sung.It came, a flow’ret bright,Amid the cold of winter,When half-spent was the night.

Isaiah twas foretold it,The Rose I have in mind;With Mary we behold it,The Virgin Mother kind.To show God’s love aright,She bore for all a Savior,When half-spent was the night.

— C.F. Nachtenhöfer, St. Germanus, 15th Century German Carol

NarrationPastor W. Bruce Benson

Born to give us second birth

Born to raise each child of earth

Wake, Awake, for Night Is FlyingPhilipp Nicolaiarr. F. Melius Christiansen

Wake, awake, for night is flying!The watchmen on the heights are crying,Awake, Jerusalem, arise!Midnight’s solemn hour is tolling,His chariot wheels are nearer rolling;He comes; prepare, ye virgins wise. Rise up with willing feet. Go forth, the Bridegroom meet, Hallelujah!Bear through the night your well-trimmed light,Speed forth to join the marriage rite.

Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascendingFrom earth and heavenly voices, blendingWith harps and lute and psaltery.By Thy pearly gates in wonderWe stand and swell the voice of thunder,In bursts of choral melody; No vision ever brought, No ear hath ever caught Such bliss and joy:We raise the song, we swell the throngTo praise Thee ages all along.

— Philipp Nicolai trans. William Cook, alt.

Isaiah’s VoiceJohn Ferguson

A word of comfort echoes;It is Isaiah’s voiceSpeaking the balm of pardonAnd God’s forgiving choice.

The valley lifted up;Uneven ground made level;Glory revealed. Rejoice!

God’s word will come to pass.Fleeting is human nature,Like withered, fading grass.Ageless the holy promise: God’s word will come to pass.

And with a shepherd’s arms,God gathers and sustains usClose to his heart so vast.

Nestled in fields of amber,When winter’s zephyr blows,There is a bloom so vividWithin the grass a rose.

Truth shall spring out of the earthAnd righteousness look down from heaven

Prepare the Wayarr. Christopher Aspaas

Prepare the way, O Zion! You awful deeps rise high;Sink low, you tow’ring mountains, The Lord is drawing nigh;The righteous King of glory,Foretold in sacred story.

O blest is He that came In God the Father’s Name.

Fling wide your gates, O Zion,And hail your glorious King;His tidings of salvation To ev’ry people bring,Who, waiting yet in sadness, Would sing his praise in gladness.

O blest is He that came In God the Father’s Name.

Awaken, Lord, our spirit, This bright and holy morn!He comes, the Prince anointed, The Christ, the virgin-born,Grim death to vanquish for us,To open heav’n before us!

O blest is He that came In God the Father’s Name.Prepare the Way!

What ChildPaul Lohman

What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping?Whom angels greet with anthems sweetWhile shepherds watch are keeping?This, this is Christ the king,Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary!

Why lies he in such mean estateWhere ox and ass are feeding?Good Christian fear; for sinners hereThe silent Word is pleading.This, this is Christ the king,Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;Hail, hail the Word made flesh,The babe, the son of Mary!

So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh;Come, peasant, king, to own him.The King of kings salvation brings;Let loving hearts enthrone him.This, this is Christ the king, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing;Joy, joy for Christ is born,The babe, the son of Mary!

— William C. Dix

“Come,” they told me,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,

“Our newborn King to see!Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,Our finest gifts we’ll bring,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,To lay before the King!Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,So to honor him,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,When we come.”

“Baby Jesu,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,I’m a poor boy too,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,I have no gift to bring,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,That’s fit to give a king,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum.Shall I play for you,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,On my drum?”

Mary nodded, Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,Ox and ass kept time,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,I played my drum for Him,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,I played my best for Him,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum.Then He smiled at me,Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum,Me and my drum!

See, Amid the Winter SnowRobert Scholz See, amid the winter snow,Born for us on earth below;See, the gentle Lamb appears,Promised from eternal years:

Refrain: Hail, O ever-blessed morn;Hail, redemption’s happy dawn;Sing through all Jerusalem:Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Low within a manger lies He who built the starry skies;He who, throned in height sublime,Reigns above the cherubim:

Refrain

Say, you humble shepherds, say,What’s your joyful news today?Tell us why you left your sheepOn the lonely mountain steep.

“As we watched at dead of nightAll around us shone a light;Angels singing Peace on earth,Told us of a Savior’s birth.”

Refrain

Sacred infant, king most dear,What a tender love was here,Thus to come from highest blissDown to such a world as this!

Ring Out, Wild BellsRon Nelson

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,The flying cloud, the frosty light;The year is dying in the night;Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,For those that here we see no more,Ring out the feud of rich and poor,Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,Ring, happy bells, across the snow:The year is going, let him go;Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,And ancient forms of party strife;Ring in the nobler modes of life,With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring in the valiant man and free,The larger heart, the kindlier hand;Ring out the darkness of the land,Ring in the Christ that is to be.

— Lord Alfred Tennyson

NarrationPastor W. Bruce Benson

Dona nobis pacem Ralph Vaughan Williams

Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.And none shall make them afraid, neither shall the sword go through their land.Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.Truth shall spring out of the earth, and righteousness shall look down from heaven.Open to me the gates of righteousness, I will go into them.Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled; and let them hear, and say it is the truth.And it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues.For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, so shall your seed and your name remain forever.Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will to all.Dona nobis pacem. Grant us peace.

— Adapted from Micah, Leviticus, Psalms, Isaiah, and Luke

Hark! The Herald Angels SingFelix Mendelssohnarr. John Ferguson

“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”Hark! The herald angels sing,

“Glory to the newborn king!”

Christ, by highest heav’n adored,Christ, the everlasting Lord,Late in time behold him come,Offspring of a virgin’s womb.Veiled in flesh the Godhead see!Hail, incarnate deity!Pleased as man with us to dwell,Jesus, our Emmanuel!Hark! The herald angels sing,

“Glory to the newborn king!”

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!Hail the Sun of righteousness!Light and life to all he brings,Ris’n with healing in his wings.Mild he lays his glory by,Born that we no more may die,Born to raise each child of earth,Born to give us second birth.Hark! The herald angels sing,

“Glory to the newborn king!”
