This arrangement has a different melody. It has most of the
original lyrics but some are altered a bit. This version has a piano accompaniment with a single voice. It is a very
soothing piece. cdboss@cvalley.net See lyrics below:
Lord, Who Throughout These
Forty Days
Claudia Frances Hernaman, Day's Psalter
New melody and arrangement by Connie Boss
Verses 1,2
Lord who throughout these forty days
For us did fast and pray
Teach us to overcome our sins
And close by you to stay
As you with Satan did contend
And did the victory win
O give us strength in you to fight
In you to conquer sin
Bridge:
As you did hunger and did thirst
So teach us gracious Lord
To die to self and so to live
By Your most Holy word
Verses 3,4
And through these days of penitence
And through your passion tide
For evermore in life and death
O Lord with us abide
Abide with us that when this life
Of suffering is past
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last, We may attain at last.
