mira con misericordia a esta tu familia,

por quien nuestro Señor Jesucristo estuvo dispuesto a

ser traicionado y a ser entregado en las manos de los pecadores

y que ahora vive y reina contigo y con el Espíritu Santo,

es un solo Dios, por los siglos de los siglos.

 O Come and Mourn

Words by Frederick William Faber, alt.
Music: Early American Folk Tune
Arranged by Hal H. Hopson

Sanctuary Choir
Bethany Ham, oboe; Les Holben, piano

David Moldenhauer, organ


O come and mourn with me awhile; all ye now come to the Savior’s side;
come see the one who frees us all; the Lord of Life is crucified.


Have we no tears to shed for him, while soldiers scoff and foes deride?
Upon the cross he bears the pain; the Lord of Life is crucified.


Seven times he speaks, seven words of love; his silence too, cries out to all.
His words of love our hearts receive. The Lord of Life is crucified.


O love of God, now shown to all. In this dread hour true strength is found;
it is with love we triumph still. The Lord of Life is crucified.


O come and mourn with me awhile; the Lord of Life is crucified.

Luke 23:33-34

The soldiers brought them to the place called The Skull. There they nailed Jesus to the cross. He hung between the two criminals. One was on his right and one was on his left. Jesus said, “Forgive them, Abba! They don’t know what they are doing.” The soldiers divided up his clothes by casting lots.


Cuando llegaron a un lugar llamado la Calavera, lo clavaron en la cruz y a los criminales también, uno a su derecha y otro a su izquierda. Jesús dijo: Padre, perdónalos, porque no saben lo que hacen. Y los soldados sortearon su ropa, tirando los dados.

 Luke 23:39-43

Uno de los criminales allí colgados empezó a insultarlo: ¿No eres tú el Cristo? ¡Sálvate a ti mismo y a nosotros! Pero el otro criminal lo reprendió: ¿Ni siquiera temor de Dios tienes, aunque sufres la misma condena?. En nuestro caso, el castigo es justo, pues sufrimos lo que merecen nuestros delitos; este, en cambio, no ha hecho nada malo. Luego dijo: ‘’Jesús, acuérdate de mí cuando vengas en tu reino’’. ‘’Te aseguro que hoy estarás conmigo en el paraíso’’, le contestó Jesús.


One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him: “Aren’t You the Christ? Save Yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. 


But this one has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when You come into Your Glory.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

John 19:25-27

Jesus’ mother stood near his cross. So did his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Jesus saw his mother there. He also saw the disciple he loved standing nearby. 
Jesus said to his mother, “Dear woman, here is your son.”
Then, he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, the disciple took her into his home.


Junto a la cruz de Jesús estaban su madre, la hermana de su madre, María la esposa de Cleofas, y María Magdalena. Cuando Jesús vio a su madre, y a su lado al discípulo a quien él amaba, dijo a su madre: ‘’Mujer, ahí tienes a tu hijo’’. Luego dijo al discípulo: ‘’Ahí tienes a tu madre’’. Y desde aquel momento ese discípulo la recibió en su casa.

Pieta

Words and Music by Joseph M. Martin

Autum Van Volkinburg, soloist

Sanctuary Choir and Orchestra


In the shadow of a manger, by a candle’s dancing flame, 
tender Mary holds her baby, and she breathes his holy name.
“Jesus rest your weary head, close your weeping eyes.” 
As evening falls, she starts to sing a lullaby. 
“Lulay, lulay, peace be yours tonight.”


In the shadow of the temple, in a place so far from home, 
Mary sees her child of wonder, and she marvels how he’s grown.
“Jesus rest your weary head, and think on gentle things.”
With loving arms she hold her Savior and she sing, 
“Lulay, lulay, peace be yours tonight.”


In the shadow of Golgotha, underneath a darkened sky, 
Mary gently cradles Jesus. Through her tears she says goodbye.
“Jesus rest your weary head. Your work on earth is done.”
And as the darkness falls, she whispers to her son, 
“Lulay, lulay, peace be yours tonight.”
