The Glory of These Forty Days

Author: Gregory the Great; Maurice F. Bell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 40 hymnals 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 steed and chariots of flame. 3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight, delivered from the lion’s might. And John, the Savior’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.

In Pleasant Lands

Author: James Flint Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 39 hymnals First Line: In pleasant lands have fallen the lines Lyrics: 1 In pleasant lands have fallen the lines That bound our goodly heritage, And safe beneath our sheltering vines Our youth is blest, and soothed our age. 2 What thanks, O God, to Thee are due, That Thou didst plant our fathers here, And watch and guard them as they grew, A vineyard to the planter dear! 3 The toils they bore our ease have wrought; They sowed in tears, in joy we reap; The birthright they so dearly bought We’ll guard, till we with them shall sleep. 4 Thy kindness to our fathers shown, In weal and woe, through all the past, Their grateful sons, O God, shall own, While here their name and race shall last.
