A HYMN FOR QUADRAGESIMA SUNDAY
Led by the Spirit of our God,
We go to fast and pray
With Christ into the wilderness;
We join His paschal way.
"Rend not your garments, rend your hearts.
Turn back your lives to me."
Thus says our kind and gracious God,
Whose reign is liberty.
Led by the Spirit, we confront
Temptation face to face,
And know full well we must
Rely on God's redeeming grace.
On bread alone we cannot live,
But nourished by the Word.
We seek the will of God to do:
This is our drink and food.
Led by the Spirit, now draw near
The waters of rebirth
With hearts that long to worship God
In spirit and in truth.
"Whoever drinks the drink I give
Shall never thirst again."
Thus says the Lord who died for us,
our Saviour, kin and friend.
Led by the Spirit, now sing praise
To God the Trinity:
The Source of Life, the living Word
Made flesh to set us free,
The Spirit blowing where it will
To make us friends of God:
This mystery far beyond our reach,
yet near in healing love.
