<p>The glory of these forty days<br>
|
|
We celebrate with songs of praise;<br>
|
|
For Christ, by Whom all things were made,<br>
|
|
Himself has fasted and has prayed.</p>
|
|
<p>Alone and fasting Moses saw<br>
|
|
The loving God Who gave the law;<br>
|
|
And to Elijah, fasting, came<br>
|
|
The steeds and chariots of flame.</p>
|
|
<p>So Daniel trained his mystic sight,<br>
|
|
Delivered from the lions’ might;<br>
|
|
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became<br>
|
|
The herald of Messiah’s Name.</p>
|
|
<p>Then grant us, Lord, like them to be<br>
|
|
Full oft in fast and prayer with Thee;<br>
|
|
Our spirits strengthen with Thy grace,<br>
|
|
And give us joy to see Thy face.</p>
|
|
<p>O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,<br>
|
|
To thee be every prayer addressed,<br>
|
|
Who art in threefold Name adored,<br>
|
|
From age to age, the only Lord.</p>
