Forty days and forty nights,
You were tasting in the wild;
Forty days and forty nights,
Tempted and yet undefiled.

Forty days and forty nights,
Tempted and yet undefiled.

Shall not we your sorrow share,
And from worldly Joys abstain,
Fasting with unceasing pray'r
Strong with you to suffer pain?

Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
Ever constant at your side,
That with you we may appear,
At eternal Easter tide.
Ever constant at your side,
That with you we may appear,
At eternal Easter tide.
