lead us through the desert sands,

as we pray and struggle
through the meshes of oppression. [Refrain]

Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
Author: Claudia F. Hernaman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Ash Wednesday; Christian Year Ash Wednesday Lyrics: 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.
2 As thou with Satan didst contend,
and didst the victory win,
O give us strength in thee to fight,
in thee to conquer sin.
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.
4 And through these days of penitence,
and through thy passiontide,
yea, evermore in life and death,
Jesus, with us abide.
5 Abide with us, that so, this life
of suffering over past,
an Easter of unending joy
we may attain at last.
Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Used With Tune: LAND OF REST

what wondrous love is this, O my soul!

to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul,
to bear the dreadful curse for my soul.
2 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul,

to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul,
to lay aside his crown for my soul.

to God and to the Lamb, I will sing:
to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM,
while millions join the theme I will sing, I will sing;
while millions join the theme I will sing.
4 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on;
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on;
And through eternity I’ll sing on. Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE Text Sources: American folk hymn, ca. 1811

I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord;
thou my soul’s shelter, and thou my high tower;
raise thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

thou, mine inheritance, now and always;
thou and thou only, first in my heart,

may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
