Author: Claudia Frances Hernaman, 1838-1898 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #200 (1997) Lyrics: 1 Lord, who through forty days
for us did fast and pray,
teach us with you to mourn our sins,
and at your side to stay.
2 As you with Satan did contend,
and did the victory win,
oh give us strength to persevere,
in you to conquer sin.
3 As thirst and hunger once you bore,
so teach us, gracious Lord,
to die to self, and daily live
by your most holy word.
4 And through these days of penitence,
and through the Passion-tide,
now, evermore, in life and death,
Lord Christ, 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. Topics: Church Year Lent; Repentance; Sin / Sinner; Struggle Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
