The Glory Of These Forty Days
We Celebrate With Songs Of Praise,
For Christ, By Whom All Things Were Made,
Himself Has Fasted And Has Prayed.

Alone And Fasting Moses Saw
The Loving God Who Gave The Law.
And To Elijah, Fasting, Came
The Steed And Chariots Of Flame.

So Daniel Trained His Mystic Sight,
Delivered From The Lion’s Might.
And John, The Saviour’s Friend, Became
The Herald Of Messiah’s Name.

Then Grant, O God, That We May, Too,
Return In Fast And Prayer To You.
Our Spirits Strengthen With Your Grace,
And Give Us Joy To See Your Face.

O Father, Son, And Spirit Blest,
To You Be Every Prayer Addressed;
Who Are In Threefold Name Adored,
From Age To Age The Only Lord.
