Now Let Us All with One Accord By St Gregory the Great (540-604) Father & Doctor of the Church

Now let us all with one accord, In fellowship with ages past, Keep vigil with our heav’nly Lord, In His temptation and his fast.

The covenant so long revealed To faithful ones in former time, Christ by His own example sealed, The Lord of love, in love sublime.

Remember, Lord, though frail we be, By Your own kind hand we were made And help us, lest our frailty Cause Your great name to be betrayed.

Hear us, O Trinity sublime, And undivided unity. So let this consecrated time Bring forth its fruit abundantly. Amen
