Holy Sabbath, sacred rest

Author: R. F. Cottrell Hymnal: SDAH1886 #241 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Holy Sabbath, sacred rest, Welcome to each waiting breast; Cheering hour that points away To eternity's glad day. 2 Ever since creation's birth, Thou hast been to cheer our earth; When the course of time began, Thou wast made, and made for man. 3 While thou bringest peaceful rest, Man by thee is doubly blest; Thou dost tend our thoughts to raise To our great Creator's praise. 4 Thus drawn nearer to our Lord, Hearts attuned to sweet accord, We shall hail the glorious day When all flesh shall own thy sway.

Holy day! Jehovah's rest!

Author: F. E. Belden Hymnal: SDAH1886 #242 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Holy day! Jehovah's rest! Of creation's week the best; Last of all the chosen seven, Blest of God, to man 'twas given. 2 First his six day's work was done, Then the Sabbath hour begun; Thus he blessed the seventh day, Thus in resting we obey. 3 While we praise our Maker's name, We his faithful promise claim; Meet with us, dear Lord, we pray, Thine are we, and thine this day. 4 Let thy Spirit on us shine, Help us keep thy law divine; Day by day so shall we be Shining lights, O Lord, for thee.

Welcome, sacred day of rest!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #243 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sacred day of rest! Sweet repose from worldly care, Day above all days the best, When our souls for heaven prepare. 2 Gracious Lord, we love this day, When we hear thy holy word; When we sing thy praise, and pray; Earth can no such joys afford. 3 But a better rest remains, Heavenly Sabbaths, happier days, Rest from sin, and rest from pains, Endless joys, and endless praise.

Safely through another week

Author: John Newton Hymnal: SDAH1886 #244 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week God has brought us on our way; Let us now a blessing seek, Waiting in his courts to-day, Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest, Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest. 2 While we seek supplies of grace Through the dear Redeemer's name, Show thy reconciling face, Take away our sin and shame; From our worldly cares set free May we rest this day in thee. 3 Here we come thy name to praise, May we feel thy presence near, May thy glory meet our eyes While we in thy courts appear; Here afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast. 4 May the gospel's joyful sound Conquer sinners, comfort saints; Make the fruits of grace abound, Bring relief to all complaints; Thus may all our Sabbaths be Till we rise to reign with thee.

Closing Sabbath! Ah, how soon

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #245 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Closing Sabbath! Ah, how soon Have thy sacred moments passed: Scarcely shines the morn, the noon, Ere the evening brings thy last! And another Sabbath flies, Solemn witness! to the skies. 2 What is the report it bears To the secret place of God? Does it speak of worldly cares, Thoughts which cling to earth's low sod? Or has sweet communion shone Through its hours from God alone? 3 Could we hope the day was spent Prayerfully, with constant heart, We might yield it up content, Knowing, though so soon it part, We should see a better day, Which could never pass away. 4 God of Sabbaths, O, forgive That we use thy gifts so ill; Teach us daily how to live That we ever may fulfill All thy gracious love designed, Giving Sabbaths to mankind.

O day of rest and gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: SDAH1886 #246 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee, the high and lowly, Who bend before the throne, Sing, Holy, holy, holy, To the Eternal One. 2 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise, A garden intersected With streams of paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land. 3 A day of sweet reflection Thou art, a day of love; A day to raise affection From earth to things above. New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We seek the rest remaining In mansions of the blest. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Tune Title: EWING

Thy holy day's returning

Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: SDAH1886 #247 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Thy holy day's returning Our hearts exult to see, And, with devotion burning, Ascend, great God, to thee. To-day, with purest pleasure, Our thoughts from earth withdraw; We search for heavenly treasure, We learn thy holy law. 2 We join to sing thy praises, O God of Sabbath-day! Each voice in gladness raises Its loudest, sweetest lay. Thy richest mercies sharing, Inspire us with thy love; By grace our souls preparing For nobler praise above.

Hail, thou bright and sacred morn

Author: Julia A. Elliott Hymnal: SDAH1886 #248 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Hail, thou bright and sacred morn, Risen with gladness in thy beams! Light, which not of earth is born, From thy dawn in glory streams; Airs of heaven are breathed around, And each place is holy ground. 2 Great Creator! who this day From thy perfect work didst rest, By the souls that own thy sway Hallowed be its hours and blest, Cares of earth aside be thrown, This day given to God alone.

Again the day returns of holy rest

Author: William Mason Hymnal: SDAH1886 #249 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Again the day returns of holy rest, Which, when he made the world, Jehovah blest; When, like his own, he bade our labors cease, And all be piety, and all be peace. 2 Let us devote this consecrated day To learn his will, and all we learn obey; So shall he hear, when fervently we raise Our supplications, and our songs of praise. 3 Lord of all worlds, incline thy gracious ear; Thy children's voice in tender mercy hear; Bear thy blest promise, fixed as hills, in mind, And shed renewing grace on lost mankind. 4 Father in heaven, in whom our hopes confide, Whose power defends us, and whose precepts guide, Through life our surest guardian and friend, Glory supreme be thine till time shall end.

Hail, happy day! thou day of holy rest

Author: P. H. Brown Hymnal: SDAH1886 #250 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Hail, happy day! thou day of holy rest; What heavenly peace and transport fill our breast When Christ, the Lord of grace, in love descends, And kindly holds communion with his friends! 2 Let earth and all its vanities be gone, Move from my sight, and leave my soul alone; Its flattering, fading glories I despise, And to immortal beauties turn my eyes. 3 Fain would I mount, and penetrate the skies, And on my Saviour's glories fix my eyes: O meet my rising soul, thou God of love, And waft it to the blissful realms above! 4 O Son of God, exalted on thy throne, Impart that grace which comes from thee alone: Thou, by whose love our light and peace are given, Bring us, dear Saviour, to thyself and heaven.
