::::''1.'' :Lo! now the time accepted peals :Its tidings of release; :A time that with salvation heals, :And to repentant tears reveals :The mercy seat of peace. ::::''2.'' :Then let us wisely now restrain :Our food, our drink, our sleep; :From idle word and jest refrain :And steadfastly begin again :A stricter watch to keep. ::::''3.'' :Now Heav’n-taught love will haste to rise :And seek the cheerless bed, :Where cold and wan the sufferer lies, :And Christ Himself to heedful eyes :Is hungering for bread. ::::''4.'' :’Tis now that zealous charity :Her goods more largely spends, :Lays up her treasure in the sky, :And freely yields, ere death draw nigh, :To God the wealth He lends. ::::''5.'' :Then consecrate us, Lord, anew, :And fire our hearts with love; :That all we think, and all we do, :Within, without, be pure and true, :Rekindled from above. ::::''6.'' :Now fuller praise and glory be :To Thee, the First and Last, :And make us, blessèd Trinity, :More faithful soldiers, worthier Thee, :Through this our chastening fast.
