A Lenten Prayer<\/p>\n
Lord, who throughout these forty days
\nFor us did fast and pray,
\nTeach us with you to mourn our sins,
\nAnd close by you to stay.<\/p>\n
As you with Satan did contend
\nAnd did the vict’ry win,
\nO give us strength in you to fight,
\nIn you to conquer sin.<\/p>\n
As you did hunger and did thirst,
\nSo teach us, gracious Lord,
\nTo die to self and so to live
\nBy your most Holy Word.<\/p>\n
Abide with us, that through this life
\nOf suff’ring and of pain
\nAn Easter of unending joy
\nWe may at last attain. <\/p>\n
