O Lord, turn not thy face from me
Author: John Marckant, died in or before 1586 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #111 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, turn not thy face from me,
who lie in woeful state,
lamenting all my sinful life
before thy mercy-gate.
2 A gate which opens wide to those
that do lament their sin;
shut not that gate against me, Lord,
but let me enter in.
3 And call me not to strict account
how I have sojourned here;
for then my guilty conscience knows
how vile I shall appear.
4 Mercy, good Lord, mercy I ask;
this is my humble prayer;
for mercy, Lord is all my suit:
O let thy mercy spare. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Scripture: Psalm 143:2 Languages: English Tune Title: ST MARY
O Lord, turn not thy face from me
Christian, dost thou see them
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #112 (2010) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 Christian, dost thou see them
on the holy ground,
how the troops of Midian
prowl and prowl around?
Christian, up and smite them,
counting gain but loss:
smite them by the merit
of the holy cross.
2 Christian, dost thou feel them,
how they work within,
striving, tempting, luring,
goading into sin?
Christian, never tremble;
never be down-cast;
smite them by the virtue
of the Lenten fast.
3 Christian, dost thou hear them,
how they speak thee fair?
'Always fast and vigil?
Always watch and prayer?'
Christian, answer boldly,
'While I breath, I pray:'
peace shall follow battle,
night shall end in day.
4 'Well I know thy trouble,
O my servant true;
thou art very weary,
I was weary too;
but that toil shall make thee
some day all mine own,
and the end of sorrow
shall be near my throne.' Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8-9 Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANDREW OF CRETE
Christian, dost thou see them
Creator of the world, to thee
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: CPWI2010 #113 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Creator of the world, to thee
an endless rest of joy belongs;
and heavenly choirs are ever free
to sing on high their festal songs.
2 But we are fallen creatures here,
where pain and sorrow daily come;
and how can we in exile drear
sing out, as they, sweet songs of home?
3 O Father, who dost promise still
that they who mourn shall blessèd be,
grant us to weep for deeds of ill
that banish us so long from thee:
4 but, weeping, grant us faith to rest
in hope upon thy loving care;
till thou restore us, with the blest,
their songs of praise in heaven to share.
5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
the God whom heaven and earth adore,
from men and from the angel-host
be praise and glory evermore. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ST GREGORY
Creator of the world, to thee
Forty days and forty nights
Author: Francis Pott, 1832-1909; George Hunt Smyttan, 1822-1870 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #114 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights
thou wast fasting in the wild;
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled.
2 Sunbeams scorching all the day;
chilly dew-drops nightly shed;
prowling beasts about thy way;
stones thy pillow; earth thy bed.
3 Shall not we thy sorrows share,
and from earthly joys abstain,
fasting with unceasing prayer,
glad with thee to suffer pain?
4 And if Satan, vexing sore,
flesh or spirit should assail,
thou, his Vanquisher before,
grant we may not faint nor fail.
5 So shall we have peace divine;
holier gladness ours shall be:
round us too shall angels shine,
such as ministered to thee.
6 Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by thy side;
that with thee we may appear
at th'eternal Eastertide. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Scripture: Matthew 4:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: HEINLEIN (AUS DER TIEE RUFE ICH)
Forty days and forty nights
Good it is to keep the fast
Author: Gregory I, 540-604; Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #115 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Good it is to keep the fast
shadowed forth in ages past,
which our own Almighty Lord
hallowed by his deed and word.
2 Moses, while he fasted, saw
God who gave by him the law;
to Elijah angels came,
steeds of fire and car of flame.
3 So was Daniel meet to gaze
on the sight of latter days
and the Baptist to proclaim
blessings through the Bridegroom’s name.
4 Grant us, Lord, like them to be
oft in prayer and fast with thee;
fill us with thy heavenly might,
be our joy and true delight.
5 Father, hear us through thy Son,
and the Spirit, with thee One,
whom our thankful hearts adore
ever and for evermore. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Languages: Englsih Tune Title: JEJUNIA
Good it is to keep the fast
Jesu, who this our Lenten-tide
Author: Anonymous; Walter Howard Frere Hymnal: CPWI2010 #116 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesu, who this our Lenten-tide
of abstinence hast sanctified,
be with thy church in saving power
in this her penitential hour.
2 And, as thou dost forgive the past,
thy sheltering arms around us cast,
that we may in thy grace remain
and fall not back to sins again.
3 Make, Lord, this Lenten discipline
an expiation for our sin;
and through these days ourselves prepare
the joys of Eastertide to share. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: KEBLE
Jesu, who this our Lenten-tide
Lo! Now is our accepted day
Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #117 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lo! now is our accepted day,
the time for purging sins away,
the sins of thought, and deed, and word,
that we have done against the Lord.
2 For he the merciful and true
hath spared His people hitherto;
not willing that the soul should die,
though great its past iniquity.
3 Then let us all with earnest care,
and contrite fast, and tear, and prayer,
and works of mercy and of love,
entreat for pardon from above;
4 that he may all our sins efface,
adorn us with the gifts of grace,
and join us to the angel band,
for ever in the heavenly land.
5 Blest Three in One and One in Three,
almighty God, we pray to thee,
that thou wouldst now vouchsafe to bless
our fast with fruits of righteousness. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:2 Languages: English Tune Title: WEIMAR
Lo! Now is our accepted day
Lord, in this thy mercy's day
Author: Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #118 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Lord, in this thy mercy's day,
ere it pass for aye away,
on our knees we fall and pray.
2 Holy Jesu, grant us tears,
fill us with heart-searching fears,
ere that awful doom appears.
3 Lord, on us thy Spirit pour,
kneeling lowly at the door,
ere it close for evermore.
4 By thy night of agony,
by thy supplicating cry,
by thy willingness to die;
5 by thy tears of bitter woe,
for Jerusalem below,
let us not thy love forgo.
6 Grant us 'neath thy wings a place,
lest we lose the day of grace
ere we shall behold thy face. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ST PHILIP
Lord, in this thy mercy's day
Lord Jesus, think on me
Author: Synesius of Cyrene, c.373-c414; Allen W. Chatfield, 1808-1866 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #119 (2010) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, think on me,
and purge away my sin;
from earthborn passions set me free,
and make me pure within.
2 Lord Jesus, think on me,
with many a care opprest;
let me thy loving servant be,
and taste thy promised rest.
3 Lord Jesus, think on me,
nor let me go astray;
through darkness and perplexity
point thou the heavenly way.
4 Lord Jesus, think on me,
that, when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
and share thy joy at last. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ST PAUL'S
Lord Jesus, think on me
My spirit longs for thee
Author: John Byrom, 1692-1763 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #120 (2010) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Lyrics: 1 My spirit longs for thee
within my troubled breast,
though I unworthy be
of so divine a guest.
2 Of so divine a guest
unworthy though I be,
yet has my heart no rest
unless it come from thee.
3 Unless it come from thee,
in vain I look around;
in all that I can see
no rest is to be found.
4 No rest is to be found
but in thy blessèd love:
O let my wish be crowned,
and send it from above! Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: ECCLES
My spirit longs for thee
