Lyrics:

Refrain: Beyond the days of hope and mystery, we see a Light of faith renewed,
and in our longing we thirst for guidance to walk with you day by day.

1. Forty days and nights you guide the steps of our journey.
May your presence be felt in the whipser of your voice.

2. Not on bread alone are we to walk on this journey. speak the words that give life to the yearnings of our hearts.

3. In your hands, O God, we feel the touch of your guidance. Keep us safe in your care: may your gentleness be there.

4. On our Lenten path we see the dawn of a new day. Be our vision of hope; be the promise of our lives.
