<p>The fast, as taught by holy lore,<br>
|
|
We keep in solemn course once more;<br>
|
|
The fast to all men known, and bound<br>
|
|
In forty days of yearly round.</p>
|
|
<p>The law and seers that were of old<br>
|
|
In divers ways this Lent foretold<br>
|
|
Which Christ, all seasons’ King and Guide,<br>
|
|
In after ages sanctified.</p>
|
|
<p>More sparing therefore let us make<br>
|
|
The words we speak, the food we take,<br>
|
|
Our sleep and mirth, and closer barred<br>
|
|
Be every sense in holy guard.</p>
|
|
<p>In prayer together let us fall,<br>
|
|
And cry for mercy, one and all,<br>
|
|
And weep before the Judge’s feet,<br>
|
|
And His avenging wrath entreat.</p>
|
|
<p>Thy grace have we offended sore,<br>
|
|
By sins, O God, which we deplore;<br>
|
|
But pour upon us from on high,<br>
|
|
O pardoning One, Thy clemency.</p>
|
|
<p>Remember Thou, though frail we be,<br>
|
|
That yet Thine handiwork are we;<br>
|
|
Nor let the honor of Thy Name<br>
|
|
Be by another put to shame.</p>
|
|
<p>Forgive the sin that we have wrought;<br>
|
|
Increase the good that we have sought;<br>
|
|
That we at length, our wanderings o’er,<br>
|
|
May please Thee here and evermore.</p>
|
|
<p>We pray Thee, holy Trinity,<br>
|
|
One God, unchanging Unity,<br>
|
|
That we from this our abstinence<br>
|
|
May reap the fruits of penitence.</p>
