O day of rest and gladness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Appears in 814 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: EWING
O day of rest and gladness
O, where shall rest be found
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 646 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, where shall rest be found
Rest for the weary soul?
'Twere vain the ocean depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
2 This world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh;
Its fairest glories shortest live,
And all its pleasures die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years;
And all that life is love.
4 Through Christ, the Life, the Way,
May we that life obtain;
And through the merits of his blood
That endless glory gain.
Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Used With Tune: SHAWMUT
O, where shall rest be found
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
Author: Rev. Samuel Stennett Appears in 1,342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan's fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
Chorus:
We will rest in the fair and happy land,
Just across on the evergreen shore;
Sing the song of Moses and the Lamb by and by,
And dwell with Jesus evermore.
2 O'er all those wide extended plains
Shines one eternal day;
There Christ, the Sun, forever reigns,
And scatters night away. [Chorus]
3 When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blest?
When shall I see my Father's face,
And in his kingdom rest? [Chorus]
4 Filled with delight, my raptured soul
Would here no longer stay;
Tho' Jordan's waves around me roll,
Fearless I'd launch away. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Used With Tune: ON JORDAN'S STORMY BANKS
On Jordan's stormy banks I stand
Once more, my soul, the rising day
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 459 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once more, my soul, the rising day
Salutes thy waking eye;
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To Him who rules on high.
2 Night unto night his name repeats,
The day renews the sound,
Wide as the heavens on which he sits
To turn the seasons round.
3 'Tis he supports my mortal frame;
My tongue shall speak his praise:
My sins might rouse his wrath to flame,
But yet his wrath delays.
4 O God, let all my hours be thine,
While I enjoy the light;
Then shall my sun in smiles decline,
And bring a peaceful night. Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Used With Tune: MEAR
Once more, my soul, the rising day
Our days are as the grass
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our days are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower;
When blasting winds sweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.
2 But thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
The words of promise sure. Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Used With Tune: BOYSTON

The day, O Lord, is spent

Abide with us, and rest;
Our hearts' desires are fully bent
On making thee our Guest.
2 We have not reached that land,
That happy land, as yet,
Where holy angels round thee stand,
Whose sun can never set.
3 Our sun is sinking now,
Our day is almost o'er;
O Sun of Righteousness, do thou
Shine on us evermore! Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Used With Tune: BOYSTON
The day, O Lord, is spent
The God of love will sure indulge
Author: Anon. Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The God of love will sure indulge
The flowing tear, the heaving sigh,
When death inflicts his fatal wound,
When tender friends and kindred die.
2 Yet not one anxious, murmuring thought
Should with our morning passions blend,
Nor would our bleeding hearts forget
The almighty, ever-living Friend.
3 Beneath a numerous train of ills
Our feeble flesh and heart may fail;
Yet shall our hope in thee, our God,
O'er every gloomy fear prevail.
4 Our Father, God! to thee we look,
Our Rock, our Portion, and our Friend;
And on thy covenant love and truth,
Our sinking souls shall still depend. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: WOODWORTH

The heavenly treasure now we have
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heavenly treasure now we have
In a vile house of clay;
But Christ will to the utmost save,
And keep us to that day.
2 Our souls are in his mighty hand,
And he shall keep them still;
And you and I shall surely stand
With him on Zion's hill.
3 O what a joyful meeting there!
In robes of white arrayed,
Palms in our hands we all shall bear,
And crowns upon our head.
4 Then let us lawfully contend,
And fight our passage through;
Bear in our faithful minds the end,
And keep the prize in view. Topics: The Christian Guidance and Protection Used With Tune: DUNDEE
The heavenly treasure now we have
The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 595 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know;
I feed in green pastures, safe-folded I rest;
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wandering, redeems when oppressed,
Restores me when wandering, redeems when oppressed.
2 Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray,
Since thou art my Guardian, no evil I fear;
Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay;
No harm can befall, with my Comforter near.
3 In the midst of affliction my table is spread
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er;
With perfume and oil thou anointest my head;
O, what shall I ask of thy providence more?
4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God,
Still follow my steps till I meet thee above;
I seek by the path which my forefathers trod,
Through the land of their sojourn thy kingdom of love.

The praying spirit breathe
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The praying spirit breathe,
The watching power impart,
From all entanglements beneath
Call off my peaceful heart.
2 My feeble mind sustain,
By worldly thoughts oppressed;
Appear, and bid me turn again
To my eternal rest.
3 Swift to my rescue come,
Thine own this moment seize;
Gather my wandering spirit home,
And keep in perfect peace:
4 Suffer no more to rove
O'er all the earth abroad,
Arrest the prisoner of thy love,
And shut me up in God.
