Holy Saturday Matins

Audio of Matins this morning (Propers used are posted below - Note: The Opening Versicles and beginning of the Venite are missing, because the idiot in charge of the recorder forgot to press the button before we began - and, yes, I am that idiot! :)

Office Hymn: LSB 564 "Christ Sits at God's Right Hand" (stanza 2)
Readings:  Lamentations 5:1-22; Hebrews 7:1-22
Responsory:
P  Our Shepherd, the source of the water of life, has died.  The sun was darkened when He passed away.
C  Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name.
P  He has destroyed the barricades of hell and overthrown the  sovereignty of the devil.
C  Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name.
P  But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
C  Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name.
