Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days (Saint Flavian, Organ)

Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us did fast and pray
Teach us with you to mourn our sins
And close by you to stay

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

As you did hunger bear and thirst
So teach us, gracious Lord
To die to self, and always live
By your most holy word

And through these days of penitence
And through your Passiontide
Forevermore, in life and death
O Lord, with us abide

Abide with us that when this life
Of suffering is past
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last!
