Lord Who Throughout These Forty Days
Verse 1
Lord who throughout these forty days
For us didst fast and pray
Teach us with Thee to mourne our sins
And close by Thee to stay

Verse 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

Verse 3
And through these days of penitence
And through Thy passion tide
Yea evermore in life and death
O Lord with us abide

Verse 4
Abide with us that so this life
Of suffering overpast
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last
