1. Hear, O thou bounteous Maker, hear,

Our humble vows with gracious ear,

Turn not thy saving face away,

Whilst on this solemn feast we pray.

2. Great searcher of our hearts, to Thee,

We here deplore our misery,

Behold, we to Thy mercies fly,

Do Thou Thy healing grace apply.

3. Great are our sins, O Lord, but thou,

Canst pardon more than we can do,

May our defects, like shadows, raise,

The beauty and the life of grace.

4. May fasts extinguish in our will,

The fuel and desire of oil,

And thus our souls from fetters free,

May only thirst and follow thee.

5. Grant, O most sacred Trinity,

One undivided Unity,

That abstinence may here improve,

Our claim to reign with Thee above.
