Tune: Winchester New
('Ride on, ride on in majesty')
Luke 22 v.31-34
********
The Lord said to Simon [Peter], Behold
Satan has desired, it be told
To have you, that as wheat he may
Sift you, but for you I do pray
I have prayed that your faith not fail
But against enemies prevail
And when you have again to me
Turned, strengthen your brethren, so be
Peter said to Him, Lord, I be
Ready to go with you freely
Both into prison, and to death
I will stay till my final breath
The Lord said, I tell you, Peter
The cockerel shall not crow, 'tis sure
Not crow this day until you shall
Deny me thrice, this here know well
