Recessional Hymn
Forty Days and Forty Nights
Verse 1
Forty days and forty nights
You were fasting in the wild;
Forty days and forty nights
Tempted, and yet undefiled.Verse 2
Shall not we your sorrow share
And from worldly joys abstain,
Fasting with unceasing prayer,
Strong with you to suffer pain?Verse 3
Then if Satan on us press,
Flesh or spirit to assail,
Victor in the wilderness,
Grant we may not faint nor fail!Verse 4
So shall we have peace divine:
Holier gladness ours shall be;
Round us, too, shall angels shine,
Such as served You faithfully.Verse 5
Keep, O keep us, Savior dear,
Ever constant by your side;
That with you we may appear
At th'eternal Eastertide.
