LENT

3 From the depth of nature’s blindness,
From the hardening power of sin,
From all malice and unkindness,
From the pride that lurks within:
By thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord.

4 When temptation sorely presses,
In the day of Satan's power,
In our times of deep distresses,
In each dark and trying hour:
By thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord.

5* In the weary hours of sickness,
In the times of grief and pain,
When we feel our mortal weakness,
When the creature’s help as vain:
By thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord.

6 In the solemn hour of dying,
In the awful judgement day,
May our souls, on thee relying.
Find thee still our rock and stay:
By thy mercy,
O deliver us, good Lord.

7. Jesu, may thy promised blessing
Comfort to our souls afford;
May we now, thy love possessing,
And at length our full reward,
Ever praise thee,
Thee, our ever-glorious Lord.
