This past week we had the funeral of a dear sister in Christ here at Messiah Lutheran Church, Sandra Russo. Â In the midst of the sadness and sorrow of the passing of our dear sister, we rejoiced together in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Â The sermon hymn for this was Now all the Vault of Heaven Resounds, Lutheran Service Book 465. Â Our Academy children sang stanzas 1 and 3 of the hymn, and the congregation sang 2 & 4. Â I have included here a recording from the service of stanzas 1, 3 & 4 of the hymn. Â Enjoy!
Käthe says "that's really beautiful!" I concur; thanks for sharing.
Thank you for that, Brother Todd. It brought tears to my eyes. All of us need to be reminded of joy in the midst of sadness.
