Advent Calendar | Day 7 (Katie Burk)
Improvisation on Conditor alme siderum (Creator of the stars at night) for the seventh day of Advent, played by Katie Burk, Organ Scholar at Trinity Cathedral in Portland.
Conditor alme siderum (7th cent.)
1 Creator of the stars of night, your people’s everlasting light, O Christ, Redeemer of us all, we pray you, hear us when we call.
2 In sorrow that the ancient curse should doom to death a universe, you came to save a ruined race with healing gifts of heav'nly grace.
3 When earth drew on to darkest night, you came, but not in splendor bright, not as a king, but the child of Mary, virgin mother mild.
4 At your great name, majestic now, all knees must bend, all hearts must bow; all things on earth with one accord join those in heav’n to call you Lord.
5 To God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit, Three in One, praise, honor, might, and glory be from age to age eternally.
