The Glory of These Forty Days

Author: Gregory the Great; M. F. Bell Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #242 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Biblical Characters Daniel; Biblical Characters Elijah; Biblical Characters John; Biblical Characters Moses Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Alone and fasting Moses saw the loving God who gave the Law, and to Elijah, fasting, came the steeds and chariots of flame. 3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight, delivered from the lions’ might, and John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became the herald of Messiah’s name. 4 Then grant us, Lord, like them to be full oft in fast and prayer with thee; our spirits strengthen with thy grace, and give us joy to see thy face.

A Lord, thy dwelling place prepare; what peace shall reign when thou art there! 2 Prayer makes the darkened cloud withdraw; prayer climbs the ladder Jacob saw, gives exercise to faith and love, bring ev'ry blessing from above. 3 Restaining prayer, we cease to fight; prayer keeps the Christian's armor bright; and Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees. 4 When Moses stood with arms spread wide, success was found on Israel's side; but when through weariness they failed, that moment Amalek prevailed. 5 O Lord, increase our faith and love, that we may all thy goodness prove, and gain from thy exhaustless store the fruits of prayer forevermore.

Lord of battles, God of armies, he has gained the victory. He who on the cross did suffer, he who from the grave arose, he has vanquished sin and Satan, he by death has spoiled his foes. 3 While he lifts his hands in blessing he is parted from his friends; while their eager eyes behold him, he upon the clouds ascends; he who walked with God and pleased him, preaching truth and doom to come, he, our Enoch, is translated to his everlasting home. 4 Now our heav'nly Aaron enters with his blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, and the kings before him quail. Now he plants the tribes of Israel in their promised resting place, now our great Elijah offers double portion of his grace. 5 He has raised our human nature on the clouds to God's right hand; there we sit in heav'nly places, there with thee in glory stand; Jesus reigns, adored by angels, mighty Lord, in thine Ascension we by faith behold our own.
