Verse 1

      Em       B7       Em

The glory of these forty days,

     D     G                 D         G

we celebrate with songs of praise;

      Am               D             D               Em

For Christ, by whom all things were made,

    Em              C        Em  B7 Em

Himself has fasted and has prayed.

Verse 2

Alone and fasting Moses saw

the loving God who gave the law;

And to Elijah fasting came,

the steeds and chariots of flame.

Verse 3

So Daniel trained his mystic sight,

deliver'd from the lion's might;

And John the Bridegroom's friend

became the herald of Messiah's name.

Verse 4

Then grant us Lord like them to do,

such things as bring great praise to You;

Our spirit strengthen with Your grace,

and give us joy to see Your face.

Verse 5

O Father, Son and Spirit blest,

to You be ev'ry pray'r addressed,

And by all manking be adored,

from age to age the only Lord.
