Author: Claudia F. Hernaman, 1838-1898 Hymnal: Breaking Bread (Vol. 39) #137 (2019) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: Breaking Bread (Vol. 39) Lyrics: 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.
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.
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.
4 And through these days of penitence,
And through your Passion-tide,
Forevermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
5 Abide with us that when this life
Of suffering is past,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last! Topics: Seasonal Music Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
