The Glory Of These Forty Days Lyrics
The Glory Of These Forty Days
We Celebrate With Songs Of Praise,
For Christ, By Whom All Things Were Made,
Himself Has Fasted And Has Prayed.

Alone And Fasting Moses Saw
The Loving God Who Gave The Law.
And To Elijah, Fasting, Came
The Steed And Chariots Of Flame.

So Daniel Trained His Mystic Sight,
Delivered From The Lion’s Might.
And John, The Savior’s Friend, Became
The Herald Of Messiah’s Name.

Then Grant, O God, That We May, Too,
Return In Fast And Prayer To You.
Our Spirits Strengthen With Your Grace,
And Give Us Joy To See Your Face.

The Glory Of These Forty Days Spanish Lyrics
La gloria de estos cuarenta días
la celebramos con cánticos de alabanza,
pues Cristo, por quien todas las cosas fueron creadas,
él mismo ayunó y oró.

Sólito y en ayuno, Moisés vio
al Dios amoroso que dio la Ley.
Y a Elías, en ayuno, le llegaron
el corcel y los carros de fuego.

Así Daniel agudizó su visión mística,
liberado del poder del león.
Y Juan, el amigo del Salvador, se convirtió
en el heraldo del nombre del Mesías.

Concédenos, oh Dios, que también nosotros
volvamos a ti mediante el ayuno y la oración.
Fortalece nuestros espíritus con tu gracia,
y danos la alegría de contemplar tu rostro.
