Lenten Lectionary-Inspired Hymns
These eight new hymn texts—two for Ash Wednesday, and one for each of the Sundays in Lent, including Passion / Palm Sunday—closely follow the texts and themes of the Revised Common Lectionary, Year C. The hymns are set to familiar tunes in the 1990 Presbyterian Hymnal. Liturgical notes accompanying each hymn offer suggestions about how they might be used in worship.

Mark 16:1-8 According to the earliest manuscripts, this passage constitutes the end of the Gospel of Mark. The “long ending” (vv. 9-20) appears only later, and consists of a collection of traditions taken from the other Gospels that were written after Mark and some non-New Testament traditions. It was apparently composed to provide Mark with an ending similar to that of the other three Gospels. |

Mark 11:1-11 This story it set within the bounds of Mark’s overall narrative of Jesus’ passion; it begins the final week of Jesus’ life. |
