Hymn of the Day

“Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days”
Lord, who throughout these forty days
for us didst fast and pray,
teach us with thee to mourn our sins
and close by thee to stay.
As thou with Satan didst contend,
and didst the victory win,
O give us strength in thee to fight,
in thee to conquer sin.
And through these days of penitence,
and through thy passiontide,
yea, evermore in life and death,
Jesus, with us abide.
Abide with us, that so,
this life of suffering over past,
an Easter of unending joy
we may attain at last. (UMH, no. 269)

—Claudia F. Herneman
