Savior of the Nations, Come
Advent Lessons and Carols 2024

Saturday, December 14, 5:30 pm, Mission Campus

Savior of the nations, come, make here your home!

The hymn “Savior of the Nations, Come” has accompanied Christians on their Advent journey for hundreds of years. Ambrose of Milan (340-397) wrote the Latin text, which Martin Luther (1483-1546) translated into German, and later poets translated into English. At this year’s Advent Lessons & Carols service, we will explore the rich themes and imagery in this hymn. Led by the Trinity Choir and guest musicians, the evening will include beloved Advent hymns and scripture as well as music by Michael Burkhardt, Paul Manz, Mark Shepperd, Kyle Pederson, and more.

This annual service of seasonal music and moving readings from Holy Scripture is a spiritual oasis in the midst of the busy holiday hubbub, offering time for reflection, meditation, and peace. The offering will support Trinity’s ministry of Music and the Arts. A reception will follow the service.
