Ash Wednesday to Pentecost
Turn Out, Turn Out
- Turn out, turn out those wasted days
Where I did not seek God upon His throne,
When in my thin and frightened ways
I fancied myself helpless and alone
As if such glory could not reach to me
Who am the subject of its Majesty. - Carry aloft the golden Cross
Which resurrection wove into the white
Of grave clothes left to show this loss
Had set at nought all previous defeats:
Sing loud the song of heavenly hope restored
In worship of our ever Risen Lord. - Walk on, walk on the stoney road
But do not dread the hardness of the way,
For it will lead you to Emmaus
And Eucharist to crown a weary day:
Turn out, turn out those wasted days for all
Your searching has been answered in His call.
