The glory of these forty days, We celebrate with song upraised; For Christ, through Whom all things were made, Himself has fasted and has prayed. |
| 2 |
So Daniel trained a mystic sight, Delivered from the lion's might; And John, the bride groom's friend, became The herald of Mesiah's name. |
| 3 |
Then grant us Lord, like them to be, Full oft in fast and pray'r with Thee; Our spirits strengthen with Thy grace, And give us joy to see Thy face. |
| 4 |
O Father, Son, and Spirit blest, To Thee be ev'ry pray'r address'd; Who art in thee fold name adored, From age to age the only Lord. |
