Commontide

After Receiving Communion

O Lord Jesus Christ, in this wonderful Sacrament you have given us a memorial of your passion: Grant us, we pray, so to venerate the sacred mysteries of your Body and Blood, that we may ever perceive within ourselves the fruit of your redemption; who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Hymnal

Lord, who throughout these forty days

Particularly Appropriate During Lent

№ 29 · ST. FLAVIAN · Liturgical Year — Lent · Claudia Frances Hernaman

1.Lord, who throughout these forty days for us didst fast and pray,
Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins, And close by Thee to stay.

2.As Thou with Satan didst contend
And did the vict'ry win,
O give us strength in Thee to fight,
In Thee to conquer sin.

3.As Thou didst hunger and didst thirst,
So teach us, gracious Lord,
To die to self, and only live
By Thy most holy word.

4.And through these days of penitence,
And through Thy Passion-tide,
For evermore, in life and death,
Jesus, with us abide.

5.Abide with us, that so, this life
Of suffering overpast,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last!
