Lenten
Hymn from the Durham Hymnal

indultor
& peccaminum,
lesu,
quadragenarii
consecrator
ieiunii,
da
pectoris munditiam,
corporis
castimoniam,
ne
valeat inrumpere
corruptor
pudicitiae,
qui
protoplastum vetiro
illiciens
edulio
in
huius vite torridum
detruserat
ergastulum.
Nos,
filii aecclesiae
tuo
redempti sanguine,
voce
precamur humili,
ne
pereamus miseri:
Sana
languencum vulnera,
dum
restringuntur corpora,
dele
virus malitiae
medela
parsimoniae,
sicut
in sterquilinio
benignitatis
oculo
dignatus
es revisere
lob
in favilla & cinere.
Presta,
pater, per filium
Lofty Savior of all, pardoner of sins, consecrator
of the forty-day fast, grant cleansing of the heart, chastity of body, that
destroyer of modesty not be able to break in, who by the forbidden food thrust
down the first man into dry prison of this life. We, sons of the Church,
redeemed by your blood, pray with humble voice that we not perish miserably: heal
our languishing wounds, while our bodies are restored, blot out the virus of
evil with the remedy of fasting, just as you vouchsafed to look with a kind eye
on Job upon the dunghill in dust and ashes.
