about

Based on the Collect (focused prayer) for the First Sunday in Lent from the Book of Common Prayer:

Almighty God, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan; Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and, as you know the weaknesses of each of us, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

lyrics

VERSE 1
Jesus, you entered Satan’s lair
To conquer evil in its keep.
In forty days of fast and prayer
You showed your right to tend God’s sheep.
When hunger closed its vicious grasp
‘Round your incarnate body’s need
You fled from food as from an asp,
For you had bread enough, indeed.

REFRAIN
O help us, Lord, refuse the bait
Of evil's constant, charming lure.
Protect us now from Satan's hate,
And keep us in your arm's secure,
And keep us in your arm's secure.

VERSE 2
You would not use the gift of bread
To cover man’s true need for grace,
The resurrection of the dead,
The gift to ‘waken Adam’s race.
For Caesar’s ways you had no care.
The way of pow’r you would not trod.
Instead you took old Satan’s dare
And let him think that he killed God.

REFRAIN
O help us, Lord, refuse the bait
Of evil's constant, charming lure.
Protect us now from Satan's hate,
And keep us in your arm's secure,
And keep us in your arm's secure.

VERSE 3
When you return to claim your due
May we be found upon your breast
With heads reclining near to you,
Like little babes, secure, at rest.

REFRAIN
O help us, Lord, refuse the bait
Of evil's constant, charming lure.
Protect us now from Satan's hate,
And keep us in your arm's secure,
And keep us in your arm's secure.
