First Sunday in Lent

First Sunday Lent 6th March 2022

Opening Song


1. Led by the Spirit of our God,

we go to fast and pray

With Christ into the wil-der-ness;

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.


2. Led by the Spirit, we confront

temptation face to face,

And know full well we must re-ly

on God's redeeming grace.

On bread alone we can-not live,

but nourished by the Word.

We seek the will of God to do:

this is our drink and food.


3. Led by the Spirit, now draw near

the waters of re - birth

With hearts that long to worship God

in spirit and in truth.

"Who-e-ver drinks the drink I give

shall never thirst a - gain."

Thus says the Lord who died for us,

our Saviour, kin and friend.


4. Led by the Spirit,now sing praise

to God the Trin - i - ty:

The Source of Life, the liv-ing Word

made flesh to set us free,

The Spirit blowing where it will

to make us friends of God:

This myst'ry far beyond our reach,

yet near in healing love.

Offertory Song


You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,

Who abide in His shadow for life,

Say to the Lord:"My refuge,

My rock in whom I trust!"

And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,

Bear you on the breath of dawn,

Make you to shine like the sun,

And hold you in the palm of His hand.


The Snare of the Flower will never capture you,

And famine will bring you no fear;

Under his wings your reguge,

His faithfulness your shield



You need not fear the terror of the night,

Nor the arrow that flies by the day;

Through thousands fal about you,

Near you it shall not come



And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,

Bear you on the breath of dawn,

Make you to shine like the sun,

And hold you in the palm of His hand.

Prayer of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present

in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.

I love You above all things

and I passionately desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

come spiritually into my soul

so that I may unite myself wholly to You

now and forever.
Amen.


Based on a prayer of St Alphonsus Liguorit

Bowing here, I find my rest

Recessional Song


For to his angels he’s given a command,

To guard you in all of your ways;

Upon their hands they will bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone


And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,

Bear you on the breath of dawn,

Make you to shine like the sun,

And hold you in the palm of His hand.
