Author: Francis Pott, 1832-1909; George Hunt Smyttan, 1822-70 Hymnal: Together in Song #591 (1999) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights
you were fasting in the wild,
forty days and forty nights
tempted, and yet undefiled:
2 let us your endurance share
and from earthly greed abstain,
with you watching unto prayer,
with you strong to suffer pain.
3 And if Satan on us press
flesh or spirit to assail,
Victor in the wilderness,
grant we may not faint or fail.
4 Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear,
ever constant by your side,
that with you we may appear
at the eternal Eastertide. Topics: Endurance; Jesus Christ Earthly life; Lent; Satan; Temptation Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18 Languages: English Tune Title: HEINLEIN
