RECESSIONAL (Tune: Old French carol)

Led by the Spirit of our God we go to fast and pray

With Christ into the wilderness we join his Easter way

Rend not your garments, rend your hearts

Turn back your lives to meThus says our kind and gracious

GodWhose reign is liberty

Led by the Spirit we confront temptation face to face

And know full well we must rely on God’s redeeming grace

On bread alone we cannot live but nourished by the Word

We seek the will of God to do: this is our drink and food.

Led by the Spirit now sing praise to God the Trinity

The source of life, the living Word made flesh to set us free

The Spirit blowing where it will to make us friends of God

This mystery far beyond our reach yet near This mystery far beyond our reach yet near in healing lovein healing love
