7°                         FABER'S HYMNS.
LENT.
Now are the days of humblest prayer, When consciences to God lie bare, And mercy most delights to spare. Oh hearken when we cry,
Chastise us with Thy fear; Yet, Father ! in the multitude Of Thy compassions, hear!
Now is the season, wisely long, Of sadder thought and graver song, When ailing souls grow well and strong. Oh hearken when we cry,
Chastise us with Thy fear; Yet, Father ! in the multitude Of Thy compassions, hear !
The feast of penance! Oh so bright, With true conversion's heavenly light, Like sunrise after stormy night! Oh hearken when we cry,
Chastise us with Thy fear; Yet, Father! in the multitude Of Thy compassions, hear !
