EN 2642 Once More the Solemn Season Calls

Joel.2.13

Versi Version 1

1

Once more the solemn season calls

A holy fast to keep;

And now within the temple walls

Let priest and people weep.

2

But vain all outward sign of grief,

And vain the form of prayer,

Unless the heart implore relief,

And penitence be there.

3

We smite the breast, we weep in vain,

In vain in ashes mourn,

Unless with penitential pain

The smitten soul be torn.

4

In sorrow true then let us pray

To our offended God,

From us to turn His wrath away

And stay the uplifted rod.

5

O God, our Judge and Father, deign

To spare the bruised reed;

We pray for time to turn again,

For grace to turn indeed.

6

Blest Three in One to Thee we bow;

Vouchsafe us, in Thy love,

To gather from these fasts below

Immortal fruit above.
