Author: James Gertmenian, b. 1947 Hymnal: Lift Up Your Hearts #134 (2013) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: John 1:9 First Line: Thoughout these Lenten days and nights 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 Calvary’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 live again!
