Songs in the Desert is an audio Lenten devotional exploring Christian hymns. Every weekday in Lent, listen to a reflection from a different contributor on a hymn that they find meaningful.

The recording of the hymn, courtesy of Mr. Richter, was made at Christ Church, Bronxville, N.Y., directed by Christopher Wells, with Mr. Richter at the organ.

This episode was edited by Robert Richter.

Hymn numbers, when given, refer to the Episcopal Hymnal 1982. But most hymns can be found in many different hymnals.

Proper collects for the weekdays of Lent are from Lesser Feasts and Fasts 2006.
