Author: James Gertmenian, 1947- Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: John 1:9 Lyrics: 1 Throughout these Lenten days and nights
we turn to walk the inward way,
where, meeting Christ, our guide and light,
we live in hope till Easter Day.
2 The pilgrim Christ, the Lamb of God,
who found in weakness greater power,
embraces us, though lost and flawed,
and leads us to his Rising Hour.
3 We bear the silence, cross and pain
of human burdens, human strife,
while sisters, brothers help sustain
our courage till the Feast of Life.
4 And though the road is hard and steep,
the Spirit ever calls us on
through Calv'ry's dying, dark and deep,
until we see the coming Dawn.
5 So let us choose the path of One
who wore, for us, the crown of thorn,
and slept in death that we might wake
to life on Resurrection Morn!
6 Rejoice, O sons and daughters!
Sing and shout hosannas! Raise the strain!
For Christ, whose death Good Friday brings
on Easter Day will rise again! Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW
