Verse 1

Lord, who throughout these forty days, For us did fast and pray, Teach us with you to mourn our sins, And close by you to stay.

Verse 2

As you with Satan did contend, And did the vict'ry win, O give us strength in you to fight, In you to conquer sin.

Verse 3

As you did hunger bear and thirst, So teach us, gracious Lord, To die to self, and always live By your most holy word.

Verse 4

And through these days of penitence, And through your Passion-tide, Forevermore, in life and death, O Lord, with us abide.

Verse 5

Abide with us that when this life Of suffering is past, An Easter of unending joy We may attain at last!
