EN 2800 O Jesu Christ, from Thee Began

Matt.4.1

Versi Version 1

1

O Jesu Christ, from Thee began

This healing for the soul for man,

By fasting sought, by fasting found

Through forty days of yearly round;

2

That he who fell from high delight,

Borne down to sensual appetite,

By dint of stern control may rise

To climb the hills of Paradise.

3

Therefore behold Thy Church, O Lord,

And grace of penitence accord

To all who seek with generous tears

Renewal of their wasted years.

4

Forgive the sin that we have done,

Forgive the course that we have run,

And show henceforth in evil day

Thyself our succor and our stay.

5

But now let every heart prepare,

By sacrifice of fast and prayer,

To keep with joy magnifical

The solemn Easter festival.

6

Father and Son and Spirit blest,

To Thee be every prayer addrest,

Who art in threefold Name adored,

From age to age, the only Lord.
