Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

As Thou didst hunger bear, and thirst, So teach us, gracious Lord,
To die to self, and chiefly live By Thy most holy Word.

Verse 4

And through these days of penitence, And through Thy passiontide,
Yea, evermore in life and death, Jesus, with us abide.

Verse 5

Abide with us, that so, this life Of suff'ring over past,
An Easter of unending joy We may attain at last.
