and from worldly joys abstain,
fasting with unceasing prayer,
strong with you to suffer pain?
3. Then if Satan on us press,
flesh or spirit to assail,
victor in the wilderness,
grant that we not faint nor fail!
4. So shall we have peace divine:
holier gladness ours shall be;
round us, too, shall angels shine,
such as served you faithfully.

ever constant by your side,
that with you we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide.
