Ash Wednesday
Return to me with all your heart:
return to me, calls Holy One.
Blow the trumpet, ring the bells,
call the people together:
call the older folk;
call the children – infants, teens
and all between;
call those preparing celebrations,
call those with sorrow and grief:
Return to me with all your heart:
return to me, calls Holy One.
Call priests and ministers who weep
for their people, pleading with Holy One
to remember though we have forgotten;
call prophets who see the world's rejection
of the ways of Wisdom and cry
with Holy One: return!
Return to me with all your heart:
return to me, calls Holy One.
return to me, calls Holy One.
Call the people to fast and pray,
to change hearts and minds;
call the people, for Holy One is slow
to anger, and faithful in love!
Call the people: turn back!
Return to me with all your heart:
return to me, calls Holy One.
return to me, calls Holy One.
Return to me with all your heart:
return to me, calls Holy One.
return to me, calls Holy One.
