Journey Through the Old Testament: “In the Beginning”
Week 1 “Creation”
Read: Genesis 1-4 & 6-9
Listen: "Morning Has Broken" - Cat Stevens
View: Lunar Sunrise from Apollo 10
Christian Theme: The Felix Culpa
From the Exultet of the Easter Vigil
For wherefore should man be born into this world, save that being born he might be redeemed? How wonderful then, O God, is thy loving-kindness unto us thy children! Behold, what manner of love he hath bestowed upon us: who to redeem a servant, delivered up his only Son!
O wonderful providence of Adam's transgression, that by such a death sin might be done away! 0 blessed iniquity, for whose redemption such a price was paid by such a Savior; O night verily blessed, to thee alone that time and that hour were made manifest, when our Savior Christ rose again from death unto life! The night is come, whereof David said: Behold, the night is as clear as the day: Then shall my night be turned into day.
From the English folk carol 'Adam lay ybounden'
| Middle English original spelling[9] | Middle English converted (Edith Rickert)[10] |
|---|---|
Adam lay i-bowndyn,
Fowre thowsand wynter
| Adam lay ybounden,
Four thousand winter
|
And al was for an appil,
As clerkes fyndyn wretyn
| And all was for an apple,
As clerkës finden written
|
Ne hadde the appil take ben,
Ne hadde never our lady
| Nor had one apple taken been,
Then had never Our Lady,
|
Blyssid be the tyme
Therfore we mown syngyn
| Blessed be the time
Therefore we may singen |
