Mark 1:13

• [Mar 1:13] Awhile In Spirit, Lord, To Thee

  Awhile in spirit, Lord, to Thee Into the desert we would flee; Awhile upon the barren steep Our fast with Thee in spirit keep. Awhile from Thy temptation learn The daily snares of sin to spurn, And in our hearts to feel and own Man liveth not by bread alone. O Thou once tempted like as we, Thou knowest our infirmity; Be Thou our Helper in the strife, Be Thou our true, our inward Life. And while, at Thy command we pray, “Give us our bread from day to day,” May we with Thee, O Christ, be fed, Thou Word of God, Thou living Bread.

• [Mar 1:13] Forty Days And Forty Nights

  Forty days and forty nights Thou wast fasting in the wild; Forty days and forty nights Tempted, and yet undefiled. Sunbeams scorching all the day; Chilly dew-drops nightly shed; Prowling beasts about Thy way; Stones Thy pillow; earth Thy bed. Should not we Thy sorrow share And from worldly joys abstain, Fasting with unceasing prayer, Strong with Thee to suffer pain? Then if Satan on us press, Jesus, Savior, hear our call! Victor in the wilderness, Grant we may not faint nor fall! So shall we have peace divine: Holier gladness ours shall be; Round us, too, shall angels shine, Such as ministered to Thee. Keep, O keep us, Savior dear, Ever constant by Thy side; That with Thee we may appear At the eternal Eastertide.

• [Mar 1:13] The Glory Of These Forty Days

  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 steeds and chariots of flame. So Daniel trained his mystic sight, Delivered from the lions’ might; And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became The herald of Messiah’s Name. Then grant us, Lord, like them to be Full oft in fast and prayer with Thee; Our spirits strengthen with Thy grace, And give us joy to see Thy face. O Father, Son, and Spirit blest, To thee be every prayer addressed, Who art in threefold Name adored, From age to age, the only Lord.

Mark 13:32

• [Mar 13:32] He Is Near

  I know not when the Lord will come, Or at what hour He may appear, Whether at midnight or at morn, Or at what season of the year. Refrain I only know that He is near, And that His voice I soon shall hear; I only know that He is near, And that His voice I soon shall hear; I know not what of time remains, To run its course, in this low sphere, Or what awaits of calm or storm, Of joy or grief, or hope or fear. Refrain I know not what is yet to run Of spring or summer, green or sear, Of death or life, of pain or peace, Of shade or shine, of song or tear. Refrain The centuries have come and gone, Dark centuries of absence drear; I dare not chide the long delay, Nor ask when I His voice shall hear. Refrain I do not think it can be long, Till in His glory He appear; And yet I dare not name the day, Nor fix the solemn advent year. Refrain
