7: 35 p.m. - Opening Prayer: from the Prelude of the Oberammergau Passion play:

“The Loss of Paradise

ADAM/EVE

Lord, you are distant! We are lost, homeless, born to die,

strangers each to the other, separated by walls, orphaned, in tears and in mourning!

Lord, let the stooped walk erect! Be a font for the thirsty and let us see in the night of death above us your luminous face

ANGEL

Thus says the Lord:

"From the dark night

I now wish to liberate mankind,

humanity must be set free: humanity must live!

My son I will give you,

my very own son I will sacrifice for you."

CHORUS

See! From afar, from Calvary's height,

there glows through the night a dawning light,

and from the branches of the cross

peaceful breezes are wafting through the worlds.

Follow the savior now by his side,

until he has fought his way through

his rugged path of thorns, and in heated battle,

bleeding, has emptied himself out for us in suffering.”

8:40   Closing Prayer:  from the closing chorus of the Passion Play:

CHORUS

“Hallelujah! Overcome, overcome the Lord has the power of doom! Death has not kept him bound in the dark night of the tomb! Sing to his glory the holy psalms! Spread before him the victory palms! Arisen has the Lord! Praise him joyfully, heavens! Sing to the victor, earth! Hallelujah to you, who has risen from death to birth!

Praise to you, who vanquished death,

you, who died at Golgotha!

Praise to you, who saves all sinners,

you, who won at Golgotha!

Praise to you, who on the altar of the cross

offered your life for us!

You have purchased us for yourself,

for you alone we live and die!

Hallelujah!

Praise, honor, adoration, power, and majesty

be yours forever and ever!”
