116. Jesu, who this our Lenten-tide

1 Jesu, who this our Lenten-tide
of abstinence hast sanctified,
be with thy church in saving power
in this her penitential hour.

2 And, as thou dost forgive the past,
thy sheltering arms around us cast,
that we may in thy grace remain
and fall not back to sins again.

3 Make, Lord, this Lenten discipline
an expiation for our sin;
and through these days ourselves prepare
the joys of Eastertide to share.
