1. Lord, who through- out these for- ty 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 Sa- tan didst con- tend, And didst the vic- t'ry win, O give us strength in Thee to fight, In Thee to con- quer sin.

3. As Thou didst hun- ger bear, and thirst, So teach us, gra- cious Lord, To die to self, and chief- ly live By Thy most ho- ly Word.

4. And through these days of pen- i- tence, And through Thy pa- ssion- tide, Yea, ev- er- more in life and death, Je- sus, with us a- bide.

5. A- bide with us, that so, this life Of suf- f'ring o- ver past, An Eas- ter of un- end- ing joy We may at- tain at last.
