Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days
Author: Claudia Frances Hernaman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 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!

Forty Days and Forty Nights
Author: George H. Smyttan, 1822-1870 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 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 á Kempis; John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 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 temptations sharp He knew,
For us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us to evil power betrayed,
Scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
He bore the shameful cross and death,
For us gave up His dying breath.
4 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 strengthen, and to cheer.
5 All glory to our Lord and God
For love so deep, so high, so broad:
The Trinity whom we adore
Forever and forevermore.

Shepherd of Souls, Refresh and Bless
Author: Anonymous; James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 97 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:4 Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of souls, refresh and bless
your chosen pilgrim flock
with manna in the wilderness,
with water from the rock.
2 Hungry and thirsty, faint and weak,
as you when here below,
our souls the joys celestial seek
which from thy sorrows flow.
3 We would not live by bread alone,
but by that Word of grace,
in strength of which we travel on
to our abiding place.
4 Be known to us in breaking bread,
but do not then depart;
Savior, abide with us, and spread
your table in our heart.
5 There sup with us in love divine;
your body and your blood,
that living bread, that heav'nly wine,
be our immortal food.

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:1-11 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.

O for a thousand tongues to sing
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,730 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 4:4 Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues, to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace!
2 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
and bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life, and health, and peace.
3 He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
he sets the prisoner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.
4 He speaks, and listening to his voice,
new life the dead receive,
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
the humble poor believe.
5 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
your loosened tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Saviour come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy!
6 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honours of thy name. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Public Ministry Used With Tune: RICHMOND

quelling all the devil’s might;
