| Hymn of Praise | Kyrie - S-96 Schubert The Washington, DC, Catholic Basilica: the version of the Kyrie (Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy) that we will use for Lent.

| Fraction | Agnus Dei: from Mass for a Servant Church The Latin title translates to "Lamb of God" - and the version we will sing for Lent we will sing in English. A beautiful and simple setting of this text ("Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us...."), new to our "Congregational Repertoire List" for this year. This is the clearest and best link I could find of folks singing - however, you will need to go to the 5' 44" mark to hear the Agnus, as this is the WHOLE Mass setting.
