Song Information:
This is the title song from our holiday CD, "Splendor Bright." It is not a Christmas carol. It is, instead, an adaptation of an ancient hymn (9th Century) for Advent. Added to the church calendar in about 600 AD, Advent always includes four Sundays before Christmas. Originally, in the Eastern Church, Advent focused on the Annunciation (when the angels told Mary that she would bear a son); but in the West it now centers around the birth of Jesus: the first coming at the Nativity, as well as the future coming at the end of time, and the present coming, through grace, to each heart.
Advent is a time of spiritual preparation, a time for calm and thoughtfulness before the commercial chaos of Christmas.
The setting is an arrangement of a plainsong, Mode 4, known in Latin as Conditor alme siderum.
Vocals: Mystified.
Arrangement, keyboards: Tom Atwood

Song Lyrics:
Creator of the stars of night
Your peoples everlasting light
O Christ, redeemer of us all
We pray you hear us when we call
In sorrow that the ancient curse
Should doom to death a universe
You came, O Savior to set free
Your own in glorious liberty
When this old world drew on toward night
You came, but not in splendor bright
Not as a monarch, but the child
Of Mary, blameless mother mild.
