     18 And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not? 19 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days. 21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. 22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.(KJV)

1. Now are the days fulfilled, 
God’s Son is manifested, 
Now His great majesty 
In human flesh is vested. 
Behold the mighty God, 
By whom all wrath is stilled, 
The woman’s promised Seed - 
Now are the days fulfilled. 

2. Now are the days fulfilled, 
Lo, Jacob’s Star is shining; 
The gloomy night has fled 
Wherein the world lay pining. 
Now, IsraeI, look on Him 
Who long thy heart hath thrilled; 
Hear Zion’s watchmen cry: 
Now are the days fulfilled. 

3. Now are the days fulfilled, 
The child of God rejoices; 
No bondage of the Law, 
No curses that it voices, 
Can fill our hearts with fear; 
On Christ our hope we build. 
Behold the Prince of Peace– 
Now are the days fulfilled.
