“It is Ash Wednesday’s early morn.
The old, the young, the newly born
Await the mark of Adam’s dust
To seal their wills in Jesus’ trust.

Prepared to walk the Lenten trail
They face death’s dark and shadowed vale.
Rememb'ring Christ who led the way
They bravely march beneath his sway.

You came from dust and dust would be
Without the Great Son’s victory.
The gift is free yet must be claimed
By goodness lived and evil tamed.”

Ash Wednesday’s Early Morn
