Lenten Prayer #11

Let our praise of Thee, Lord, be a bulwark,

Thy great commission, O let not us shirk,

As ebbing time waxes to its fullness,

Let the flow of nations fill up Thy Kirk.

Lenten Prayer #10

Let me dwell in the day that Christ arose,

As Thy Spirit's bond within my soul grows,

Knitted tighter through tribulation's work,

That all Thy strength to me, outwardly shows.

Lenten Prayer #9

Thy flesh and Thy blood be our full delight,

Against all evils of encroaching night,

Thy Body in rev'rent postures repose,

To quench all its thirsts and quell all its fright.

Lenten Prayer #8

'Gainst the Accuser, vainglorious brute,

Us strengthen, confirm, us fashion and suit,

Great Father bring forth Thy armies of light,

Our vanguard to ward off arrows he shoots.

Lenten Prayer #7

Wheat and tares, O Lord, are tied as a knot,

Twined together till the end is their lot,

Grow us all, Lord God, to fullness of fruit,

That all Thy grace and judgment shall be brought.
