Hymn for the First Sunday of Lent, Year C

There are simply not enough songs for the First Sunday of Lent (Year C). Humbly, then, I offer you this new hymn text, inspired by the lectionary passages of that Sunday.

First Sunday of Lent

The readings for the First Sunday of Lent brings us into the desert.

Our ancestor in faith was in the desert, a “wandering Aramean.” Jesus, too, our brother as much as our Lord, is tempted and tested in the desert.
