Hymns for Lent

For the first Sunday in Lent, Pam Rhodes is at Launde Abbey in Leicestershire to introduce much-loved hymns that reflect the themes of the season, including trial, temptation, sacrifice and God’s enduring love. She also explores the deep meaning in the account of Jesus being tested in the wilderness, and Sean Fletcher reads encouraging words from the Bible. The music includes: Forty Days and Forty Nights, from Hereford Cathedral; Be Not Afraid, from Guildhall, Londonderry; and from St Martin’s Church in Stamford, O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go.
