Author: Claudia F. Hernaman, 1838-1898 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #308 (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us did fast and pray,
Teach us to overcome 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 and did thirst,
So teach us, gracious Lord,
To die to self, and only live
By Your most holy word.
4 And through these days of penitence,
And through Your Passion-tide,
For evermore, 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: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Ash Wednesday and Lent; Christian Year Lent; Jesus Christ Temptation and Wilderness Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
