LENT
Let me keep Lent.
Let me not kneel and pray,
Forego some trifle every day,
Fast – and take sacrament –
And then,
Lend tongue to slander, hold ancient grudge
Deny
the very Lord whom I would glorify.
Let me keep Lent.
Let my heart grow in grace.
Let thy light shine till my illumined face
Will be a testament
Read by all . . .
That hate is buried; self crucified; new born
The spirit that shall rise on Easter morn.
Let me keep Lent. Author unknown
