Forty Days and Forty Nights

Author: George Hunt Smyttan; Francis Pott Hymnal: Voices United #114 (1996) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Fasting Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights you were fasting in the wild; forty days and forty nights tempted, and yet undefiled. 2 Sunbeams scorching all the day, chilly dewdrops nightly shed; prowling beasts about our way; stones your pillow, earth your bed. 3 Shall not we your trial share, and from earthly joys abstain, fasting with unceasing prayer, strong with you to suffer pain? 4 If temptations, vexing sore, flesh or spirit should assail, you their vanquisher before, grant we may not faint nor fail. 5 Keep, oh keep us, Saviour dear, ever constant by your side; that with you we may appear at the eternal Eastertide.
