The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947; Gregory the Great, c. 540-604 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Lent II A; Lent II B; Lent II C Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, through 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, 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. Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS HERR
The Glory of These Forty Days
Come, O thou Traveller unknown
Author: Charles Wesley 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 294 hymnals Topics: Lent II Year C Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou Traveller unknown,
whom still I hold, but cannot see;
my company before is gone,
and I am left alone with thee;
with thee all night I mean to stay,
and wrestle till the break of day.
2 I need not tell thee who I am,
my misery or sin declare;
thyself hast called me by my name;
look on thy hands, and read it there!
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3 In vain thou strugglest to get free;
I never will unloose my hold.
Art thou the man that died for me?
The secret of thy love unfold:
wrestling, I will not let thee go,
till I thy name, thy nature know.
4 Yield to me now, for I am weak,
but confident in self-despair;
speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love!
5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me!
I hear thy whisper in my heart!
The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
pure universal Love thou art:
to me, to all, thy mercies move;
thy nature and thy name is Love. Scripture: 1 John 4:8 Used With Tune: DAVID'S HARP

All ye who seek for sure relief
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Lent II Year C Lyrics: 1 All ye who seek for sure relief
in trouble and distress,
whatever sorrow vex the mind,
or guilt the soul oppress;
2 Jesus, who gave himself for you
upon the cross to die,
opens to you his sacred heart:
O to that heart draw nigh.
3 Ye hear how kindly he invites;
ye hear his words so blest:
'All ye that labour come to me,
and I will give you rest.'
4 O Jesus, joy of saints on high,
thou hope of sinners here,
attracted by those loving words
to thee we lift our prayer.
5 Wash thou our wounds in that dear blood
which from thy heart doth flow;
a new and contrite heart on all
who cry to thee bestow. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Used With Tune: ST BERNARD Text Sources: Latin, 18th century

Come down, O Love divine
Author: R. F. Littledale, 1833-1890; Bianco da Siena, d. 1434 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Epiphany II Year C; Third Sunday Before Lent Year C; Pentecost Year B; Proper 6 Year A; Proper 25 Year C Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
mine outward vesture be,
and lowliness become mine inner clothing:
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:5 Used With Tune: NORTH PETHERTON
Come down, O Love divine

the new-born souls, whose days,
reclaimed from error's ways,
inspired with hope and praise,
to Christ belong. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:2 Used With Tune: MILTON ABBAS
