Lent is a season of reflection and re-turning to God. The Table Acclamation is very simple and spare, so if you’ve been waiting for a chance to try leading the Acclamation, this can be a great season to begin!

 <\/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. Introduce the piece by having people repeat the words, then give the translation: “Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy”.<\/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

 <\/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 Amy McCreath for a Thanksgiving service of the Lutheran Episcopal Ministry at MIT\u00a0while she served as chaplain there. A lovely setting of the title of the poem by Wendell Berry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

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

or<\/p>\n

Hamba Nathi Mkhululi Wehu<\/a> (Go with us, God, and set us free) trad. Xhosa<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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

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

*Please note, the harmonies on this recording are not the harmonies from our current sheet music.<\/p>\n
