Forty days and forty nights

Author: George Smyttan (1822-1870); Francis Pott (1832-1909) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 159 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:15 Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights thou wast fasting in the wild; forty days and forty nights tempted, and yet undefiled. 2 Sunbeams scorching day by day; chilly dewdrops nightly shed; prowling beasts about thy way; stones thy pillow; earth thy bed. 3 Shall not we thy sorrows share, learn thy discipline of will, and, like thee, by fast and prayer wrestle with the powers of ill? 4 And if Satan, vexing sore, flesh and spirit should assail, thou, his vanquisher before, wilt not suffer us to fail. 5 Watching, praying, struggling thus, victory ours at last shall be; angels minister to us as they ministered to thee.
