1 Forty days and forty nights
you were fasting in the wild,
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled:
2 let us your endurance share
and from earthly greed abstain,
with you watching unto prayer,
with you strong to suffer pain.
3 And if Satan on us press
flesh or spirit to assail,
Victor in the wilderness,
grant we may not faint or fail.
4 Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by your side,
that with you we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide.
