Forty days and forty nights
Author: G. H. Smyttan, 1822-1870; Francis Pott, 1832-1909 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 157 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights
thou wast fasting in the wild;
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled:
2 Sunbeams scorching all the day;
chilly dew-drops nightly shed;
prowling beasts about thy way;
stones thy pillow, earth thy bed.
3 Shall not we thy sorrows share,
and from earthly joys abstain,
fasting with unceasing prayer,
glad with thee to suffer pain?
4 And if Satan, vexing sore,
flesh or spirit should assail,
thou, his vanquisher before,
grant we may not faint nor fail.
5 So shall we have peace divine;
holier gladness ours shall be;
round us too shall angels shine,
such as ministered to thee.
6 Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by thy side;
that with thee we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide. Topics: Lent; Ash Wednesday; Lent I Year A; Lent I Year B; Lent I Year C Used With Tune: AUS DER TIEFE (HEINLEIN)

For All the Saints
Author: William W. How, 1823-1897 Meter: 10.10.10 with alleluias Appears in 570 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:9 First Line: For all the saints who from their labors rest Lyrics: 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest,
All who by faith before the world confessed,
Your name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 You were their rock, their fortress and their might;
You, Lord, their captain in the well fought fight;
You, in the darkness drear, their one true light.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 O may your soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win, with them, the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 O blest communion, family divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one within your great design.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
6 The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
7 But then there breaks a yet more glorious day:
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The king of glory passes on his way.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
