Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
Author: Claudia Frances Hernaman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:1-13 Lyrics: 1 Lord, who throughout these forty days
For us didst fast and pray,
Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins,
And close by Thee to stay.
2 As Thou with Satan didst contend,
And didst the victory win,
O give us strength in Thee to fight,
In Thee to conquer sin.
3 And through these days of penitence,
And through Thy Passiontide,
Yea, evermore, in life and death,
O Lord, with us abide.
4 Abide with us, that so, this life
Of suffering over-past,
An Easter of unending joy
We may attain at last!

Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
Forty Days and Forty Nights
Author: George Hunt Smyttan Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 159 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights
You were fasting in the wild;
Forty days and forty nights
Tempted, and yet undefiled.
2 Shall not we Your sorrow share
And from worldly joys abstain,
Fasting with unceasing prayer,
Strong with You to suffer pain?
3 Then if Satan on us press,
Flesh or spirit to assail,
Victor in the wilderness,
Grant we may not faint nor fail!
4 So shall we have peace divine:
Holier gladness ours shall be;
Round us, too, shall angels shine,
Such as served You faithfully.
5 Keep, O keep us, Savior dear,
Ever constant by Your side;
That with You we may appear
At the eternal Eastertide.

O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High
Author: Thomas à Kempis (1380-1471); Benjamin Webb; J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:1-13 Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
how passing thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake!
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptation sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought:
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to evil pow'r betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death,
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to comfort, and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad --
the Trinity, whom we adore
forever and forevermore.

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:1-13 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 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.

When We Are Tested
Author: Ruth Duck Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:1-13 First Line: When we are tested and wrestle alone Lyrics: 1 When we are tested and wrestle alone,
famished for bread when the world offers stone,
nourish us, God, by your word and your way,
food that sustains us by night and by day.
2 When in the desert we cry for relief,
pleading for paths marked by certain belief,
lift us to love you beyond sign and test,
trusting your presence, our only true rest.
3 When we are tempted to barter our souls,
trading the truth for the power to control,
teach us to worship and praise only you,
seeking your will in the work that we do.
4 When we have struggled and searched through the night,
sorting and sifting the wrong from the right,
Savior, surround us with circles of care,
angels of healing, of hope, and of prayer.

Tell Me the Story of Jesus
Author: Fanny J. Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 229 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:2 Lyrics: 1 Tell me the story of Jesus,
write on my heart every word;
tell me the story most precious,
sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how the angels in chorus
sang as they welcomed his birth,
“Glory to God in the highest!
Peace and good tidings to earth.”
[Refrain:]
Tell me the story of Jesus,
write on my heart every word;
tell me the story most precious,
sweetest that ever was heard.
2 Fasting alone in the desert,
tell of the days that are past;
how for our sins He was tempted,
yet was triumphant at last.
Tell of the years of his labor,
tell of the sorrow he bore,
he was despised and afflicted,
homeless, rejected and poor. (Refrain)
3 Tell of the cross where they nailed him,
writhing in anguish and pain;
tell of the grave where they laid him,
tell how He liveth again.
Love in that story so tender
clearer than ever I see;
stay, let me weep while you whisper,
"Love paid the ransom for me." (Refrain)
