Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
A Hymn for Lent
Lord, who throughout these forty days, For us did fast and pray, Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins, And close by Thee to stay. As Thou with Satan did contend, And did the vict'ry win, O give us strength in Thee to fight, In Thee to conquer sin. As Thou didst hunger and didst thirst, So teach us, gracious Lord, To die to self, and only live By Thy most holy word. And through these days of penitence, And through Thy Passion-tide, For evermore, in life and death, Jesus, with us abide. Abide with us, that so, this life Of suffering overpast, An Easter of unending joy We may attain at last!
lyrics: Claudia Frances Hernaman (1873)
