The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Gregory the Great; Maurice F. Bell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 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. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Heritage Before 1500; John the Baptist; Lent Scripture: 2 Kings 2:11 Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Clarum decus jejunii, 11th c.; trans. Maurice F. Bell (England), The English Hymnal, 1906, alt.

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. Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: A Collection of Hymns, for the Christian Church and Home (Boston: James Munroe, 1843)

Though Thoughtless Thousands Choose the Road
Author: Joseph Hoskins, 1745-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Though thoughtless thousands choose the road
that leads the soul away from God,
this happiness, dear Lord, be mine:
to live and die entirely thine.
2 In Christ, by faith, I wish to live,
from him my life, my all, receive,
to him devote my fleeting hours,
serve him alone with all my pow'rs.
3 Christ is my everlasting all.
to him I look, on him I call;
he will my ev'ry need supply
in time and through eternity.
4 Soon will the Lord, my life, appear;
soon shall I end my trials here,
leave sin and sorrow, death and pain.
To live is Christ; to die is gain.
5 Soon will the saints in glory meet,
soon walk through ev'ry golden street
and sing on ev'ry blissful plain,
"To live is Christ; to die is gain."
