O Jesus, Thou art standing
Author: W. Walsham How Hymnal: The Hymnal #132 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics:
O Jesus, thou art standing
Outside the fast-closed door,
In lowly patience waiting
To pass the threshold o'er:
Shame on us, Christian brothers,
His Name and sign who bear;
O shame, thrice shame upon us,
To keep him standing there!
O Jesus, thou art knocking:
And lo! that hand is scarred,
And thorns thy brow encircle,
And tears thy face have marred:
O love that passeth knowledge
So patiently to wait!
O sin that hath no equal,
So fast to bar the gate!
O Jesus, thou art pleading
In accents meek and low:
"I died for you, my children,
And will ye treat me so?"
O Lord, with shame and sorrow
We open now the door:
Dear Savior, enter, enter,
And leave us nevermore.
Amen.

O Jesus, Thou art standing
Heal me, O my Saviour, heal
Author: Godfrey Thring Hymnal: The Hymnal #137 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics:
Heal me, O my Savior, heal;
Heal me as I suppliant kneel;
Heal me, and my pardon seal.
Fresh the wounds that sin hath made;
Hear the prayers I oft have prayed,
And in mercy send me aid.
Helpless, none can help me now;
Cheerless, none can cheer but thou;
Suppliant, Lord, to thee I bow.
Thou the true Physician art;
Thou, O Christ, canst health impart,
Binding up the bleeding heart.
Other comforters are gone;
Thou canst heal, and thou alone,
Thou for all my sin atone.
Heal me, then, my Savior, heal;
Heal me, as I suppliant kneel;
To thy mercy I appeal.
Amen.

God the Father, God the Son
Author: Richard F. Littledale Hymnal: The Hymnal #141 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.6 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics:
God the Father, God the Son,
God the Spirit, Three in One,
Hear us from thy heavenly throne:
Spare us, Holy Trinity.
Thou who, leaving crown and throne,
Camest here, an outcast lone,
That thou mightest save thine own:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Thou, despised, denied, refused,
And for man's transgressions bruised,
Sinless, yet of sin accused:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Thou who on the cross didst reign,
Dying there in bitter pain,
Cleansing with thy blood our stain:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Shepherd of the straying sheep,
Comforter of them that weep,
Hear us crying from the deep:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
That in thy pure innocence
We may wash our souls' offense,
And find truest penitence:
We beseech thee, Jesus.
That we give to sin no place,
That we never quench thy grace,
That we ever seek thy face:
We beseech thee, Jesus.
That denying evil lust,
Living godly, meek, and just,
In thee only we may trust:
We beseech thee, Jesus.
That to sin for ever dead,
We may live to thee instead,
And the narrow pathway tread:
We beseech thee, Jesus.
When shall end the battle sore,
When our pilgrimage is o'er,
Grant thy peace for evermore:
We beseech thee, Jesus.
Amen.

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Gregory the Great, c.540-604; Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #298 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, through whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lions' might;
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah's name.
4 Then grant, O God, that we may, too,
Return in fast and prayer to You.
Our spirits strengthen with Your grace,
And give us joy to see Your face. Scripture: Exodus 19:20 Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG

Forty Days and Forty Nights

You were fasting in the wild;
Forty days and forty nights
Tempted, and yet undefiled.
2 Shall not we Your sorrow share
And from worldly joys abstain,
Fasting with unceasing prayer,
Strong with You to suffer pain?
3 Then, if Satan on us press,
Flesh or spirit to assail,
Victor in the wilderness,
Grant we may not faint nor fail!
4 So shall we have peace divine;
Holier gladness ours shall be.
'Round us, too, shall angels shine,
Such as served You faithfully.
5 Keep, O keep us, Savior dear,
Ever constant by Your side,
That with You we may appear
At the eternal Eastertide. Scripture: Matthew 4:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: HEINLEIN

When We Are Tested
Author: Ruth Duck, b. 1947 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #307 (2018) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Ash Wednesday and Lent First Line: When we are tested and wrestle alone Lyrics: 1 When we are tested and wrestle alone,
Famished for bread when the world offers stone,
Nourish us, God, by Your word and Your way,
Food that sustains us by night and by day.
2 When in the desert we cry for relief,
Pleading for paths marked by certain belief,
Lift us to love You beyond sign and test,
Trusting Your presence, our only true rest.
3 When we are tempted to barter our souls,
Trading the truth for the pow'r to control,
Teach us to worship and praise only You,
Seeking Your will in the work that we do.
4 When we have struggled and searched through the night,
Sorting and sifting the wrong from the right,
Savior, surround us with circles of care,
Angels of healing, of hope, and of prayer. Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: ANGELS OF HEALING

Lord, Who throughout These Forty Days
Author: Claudia F. Hernaman, 1838-1898 Hymnal: One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism #308 (2018) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: 1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us did fast and pray,
Teach us to overcome our sins,
And close by You to stay.
2 As You with Satan did contend
And did the vict'ry win,
O give us strength in You to fight,
In You to conquer sin.
3 As You did hunger and did thirst,
So teach us, gracious Lord,
To die to self, and only live
By Your most holy word.
4 And through these days of penitence,
And through Your Passion-tide,
For evermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
5 Abide with us that, when this life
Of suffering is past,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last! Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
