<div class="lyrics">
<p>Once more the solemn season calls<br>
A holy fast to keep;<br>
And now within the temple walls<br>
Let priest and people weep.</p>
<p>But vain all outward sign of grief,<br>
And vain the form of prayer,<br>
Unless the heart implore relief,<br>
And penitence be there.</p>
<p>We smite the breast, we weep in vain,<br>
In vain in ashes mourn,<br>
Unless with penitential pain<br>
The smitten soul be torn.</p>
<p>In sorrow true then let us pray<br>
To our offended God,<br>
From us to turn His wrath away<br>
And stay the uplifted rod.</p>
<p>O God, our Judge and Father, deign<br>
To spare the bruis&egrave;d reed;<br>
We pray for time to turn again,<br>
For grace to turn indeed.</p>
<p>Blest Three in One to Thee we bow;<br>
Vouchsafe us, in Thy love,<br>
To gather from these fasts below<br>
Immortal fruit above.</p>
