Once more the solemn season calls
Hymnal: Hymnal #48 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: 1 Once more the solemn season calls
A holy fast to keep;
And now within the temple walls
Both priest and people weep.
2 But vain all outward sign of grief,
And vain the form of prayer,
Unless the heart implore relief,
And penitence be there.
3 We smite the breast, we weep in vain,
In vain in ashes mourn,
Unless with penitential pain
The smitten soul be torn.
4 In sorrow true then let us pray
To our offended God,
From us to turn His wrath away,
And stay the uplifted rod.
5 O God, our Judge and Father, deign
To spare the bruisèd reed;
We pray for time to turn again,
For grace to turn indeed.
6 Blest Three in One, to Thee we bow;
Vouchsafe us in Thy love
To gather from these fasts below
Immortal fruit above. Languages: English

Psalm 102
Author: Christopher Martin Idle (b. 1938) Hymnal: Church Hymnary (4th ed.) #66 (2005) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Christian Year Ash Wednesday First Line: Lord, hear my prayer! My cry shall come before you Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear my prayer! My cry shall come before you;
hide not your face when I am in distress.
My life burns up; my days have lost their glory,
drifting like smoke, in pain and helplessness.
2 Like some wild owl among deserted ruins,
lonely I call while enemies curse on.
Tears are my drink; God's wrath is my undoing;
ashes my food till all my days are gone.
3 But you, O Lord, remain enthroned for ever;
you will arise; in you shall kingdoms trust.
Now is the time; your city pleads your favour,
your servants love her stones, her very dust.
4 God will rebuild! Write this to sing tomorrow;
lips yet unformed their Hallelujahs cry!
Glory will dawn upon our world of sorrow,
freeing from prison those condemned to die.
5 Then shall your name on Zion's hill be spoken;
strangers shall fill Jerusalem with praise.
But as for me, my strength is bruised and broken;
spare me, O God; do not cut short my days!
6 Heaven and earth you formed in the beginning;
these soon wear out - Lord, you remain the same!
They shall be changed; your years endure unending;
our children's children live to praise your name. Scripture: Psalm 102 Languages: English Tune Title: INTERCESSOR

Lord, teach us how to pray aright
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Common Praise #98 (2000) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ash Wednesday Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with reverence and with fear;
though dust and ashes in thy sight,
we may, we must, draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer:
O grant us power to pray;
and, when to meet thee we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 God of all grace, we bring to thee
a broken, contrite heart;
give what thine eye delights to see,
truth in the inward part;
4 Faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes,
on Christ, on Christ alone;
5 Patience to watch and wait and weep,
though mercy long delay;
courage our fainting souls to keep,
and trust thee though thou slay.
6 Give these, and then thy will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we, through thy Spirit and thy Son,
shall pray, and pray aright. Scripture: 1 Peter 4:10 Languages: English Tune Title: ST HUGH
Lord, teach us how to pray aright

O Christian, Love
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: Voices United #594 (1996) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: Ash Wednesday Year ABC First Line: O Christian, love your sister and your brother! Lyrics: 1 O Christian, love your sister and your brother!
Where pity dwells, the peace of God is there;
to worship rightly is to love each other,
each smile a hymn, each kindly deed a prayer.
2 Follow with reverent steps the great example:
Jesus whose holy work was doing good;
so shall the wide earth seem a hallowed temple,
each loving life a psalm of gratitude.
4 Then shall all shackles fall; the stormy clangour
of wild war-music o'er the earth shall cease;
love shall tread out the baleful fire of anger,
and in its ashes plant the tree of peace. Tune Title: WELWYN
O Christian, Love
