Lent is the time when we wander in the wilderness together, and find still quiet spaces to listen for the voice of God. Everything gets a little more spare, our music included.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1) Gathering Song<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Kyrie Eleison, which means, “Lord, Have Mercy.” This Kyrie is from the Iona Community in Scotland.<\/p>\n

John Bell Kyrie<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Candle Lighting Song<\/strong><\/p>\n

This juicy tune, “Here is Bread for the Hungry Soul,” which reminds us we are forgiven, and also that we’re going to eat soon! The harmonies are recorded for you, but folks will mostly improvise off the melody.<\/p>\n

Note: we usually flip the words to, “here is bread for the hungry heart<\/strong>, here is wine for the thirsty soul, <\/strong>because I think the alliteration sounds better and makes the song easier to remember!<\/em><\/p>\n

“Here is Bread for the Hungry Soul<\/a>,” words: Mary Kay Beall; music: John Carter<\/p>\n

Sheet Music<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3) Table Acclamation<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ll use the very simple\u00a0Lent Table Acclamation<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4) Prayer Song<\/strong><\/p>\n

What We Need Is Here<\/a>, written by the students of the Episcopal Student Group at MIT. A lovely setting of the first line of the poem by Wendall Berry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) Offering Song<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love and Faithfulness Shall Lead<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6) Closing Hymn<\/strong><\/p>\n

What Wondrous Love is This<\/a><\/p>\n
