3By thy Fasting and Temptation
Mortify our vain Desires,
Take away what Sense, or Passion,
Appetite, or Flesh requires:
Arm us with thy Self-denial,
Every tempted Soul defend,
Save us in the fiery Trial,
Make us faithful to the End.
4By thy sorer Sufferings save us,
Save us when conform'd to Thee,
By thy Miseries relieve us,
By thy painful Agony;
When beneath thy Frown we languish,
When we feel thine Anger's Weight,
Save us by thine unknown Anguish,
Save us by thy Bloody Sweat.
5By that highest Point of Passion,
By thy Sufferings on the Tree,
Save us from the Indignation
Due to all Mankind, and me:
Hanging, bleeding, panting, dying,
Gasping out thy latest Breath,
By thy precious Death's Applying
Save us from Eternal Death.
6From the World of Care release us,
By thy decent Burial save,
Crucified with Thee, O Jesus,
Hide us in thy quiet Grave:
By thy Power divinely glorious,
By thy Resurrection's Power
Raise us up, o'er Sin victorious,
Raise us up to fall no more.
7By the Pomp of Thine Ascending,
Live we here to Heaven restor'd,
Live in Pleasures never ending,
Share the Portion of our Lord:
Let us have our Conversation
With the Blessed Spirits above,
Sav'd with all thy great Salvation,
Perfectly renew'd in Love.
