Forty Days and Forty Nights

To support my ministry via Patreon: www.patreon.co...
Forty days and forty nights you were fasting in the wild. Forty days and forty nights tempted, and yet undefiled
Shall not we your sorrow share and from worldly joys abstain. Fasting with unceasing prayer, strong with you to suffer pain?
Then if Satan on us press, flesh or spirit to assail, victor in the wilderness, grant we may not faint nor fail
So shall we have peace divine: holier gladness ours shall be. Round us, too, shall angels shine, such as served you faithfully
Keep, O Keep us savior dear, ever constant by your side. That with you we may appear, at the eternal Eastertide
Text: 77 77; George H Smyttan, 1822-1870, alt. Music: melody attr. to Martin Herbst, 1654-1681

I thought this was a very "dirge" song when I heard it at rehearsal...till II heard how you do it vocally and guitar, big help, thank you/

[@angelesildefonso4275]

Coz it’s a Lenten season song.

Lovely! Thanks for this.

My pleasure!

First time I heard that song. Nicely done.

[@willybragg1534]

It sounds so reverent on a pipe organ. And normally I am not into guitar centered hymns, but this was an amazing exception.

I think there was another song with the same tune. Does anybody remember?

[@katherinekozsey4155]

"From the Depths We Cry to Thee" has the same melody. ☺️
