36 MANCHESTER. C.M. → R. WAINWRIGHT. THE [Alternative Tune No. 124.] HE Saviour's love to man we bless, For dwelling in the wilderness Through forty nights and days. He all that time for us, His sheep, In prayer and fasting spent ; Therefore His Church would have us keep The holy fast of Lent. Now we must put some things away In which we take delight; Although at other times they may Christ did not please Himself, when He Became for our sake Man ; He gave us all we have, and we Will give Him all we can. Amen. To adore and worship Thee, Who didst fashion and create me Time so precious spent and squandered, JESUS CHRIST, Who didst redeem me From eternal misery, Who didst shed Thy Blood to save me Oh what sorrow there I caused Thee, By that Cross I now beseech Thee, Tune No. 35.] Holy Ghost, Who hast descended By whose grace my soul was cleansèd I, Thy precious gifts have slighted, Now at least, Thy child I'll be. Oh what love from me They merit, Thou, O GOD, hast made and saved me, Thou alone my LORD shalt be, Teach me then to love and serve Thee Now and in eternity. Amen. |
