1 Forty days and forty nights
thou wast fasting in the wild;
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled:
2 Should not we thy sorrow share
and from worldly joys abstain,
fasting with unceasing prayer,
strong with thee to suffer pain?
3 Then if Satan on us press,
Jesus, Saviour, hear our call!
Victor in the wilderness,
grant we may not faint nor fall!
4 So shall we have peace divine;
holier gladness ours shall be;
round us, too, shall angels shine,
such as ministered to thee.
5 Keep, oh keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by thy side;
that with thee we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide.
