This day the light, of heavenly birth
Author: William W. How Hymnal: BWHT1899 #42 (1899) Lyrics: 1 This day the light, of heavenly birth,
First streamed upon the new-born earth:
O Lord, this day upon us shine,
And fill our souls with light divine.
2 This day the Saviour left the grave,
And rose, omnipotent to save:
O Jesus, may we raisèd be
From death of sin to life in Thee.
3 This day the Holy Spirit came,
With fiery tongues of cloven flame:
O Spirit, fill our hearts this day
With grace to hear, and grace to pray.
4 O day of Light, and Life, and Grace!
From earthly toils sweet resting-place!
Thy hallowed hours, best gift of love,
We give again to God above. Topics: Lord's Day Blessings of; Lord's Day Teachings of Languages: English Tune Title: MIGDOL
This day the light, of heavenly birth
Thine holy day's returning
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: BWHT1899 #43 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Thine holy day's returning,
Our hearts exult to see;
And with devotion burning,
Ascend, O God, to Thee!
Today 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,
Lord of the 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.

God of our salvation, hear us
Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: BWHT1899 #44 (1899) Lyrics: 1 God of our salvation, hear us;
Bless, oh, bless us, ere we go!
When we join the world, be near us,
Lest we cold and careless grow:
Saviour, keep us--
Saviour, keep us--
Keep us safe from every foe.
2 As our steps are drawing nearer
To our best and lasting home,
May our view of heaven grow clearer,
Hope more bright of joys to come;
And, when dying,
And, when dying,
May Thy presence cheer the gloom.

Light of light, enlighten me
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Benjamin Schmolk Hymnal: BWHT1899 #45 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Light of light, enlighten me,
Now anew the day is dawning;
Sun of grace, the shadows flee,
Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning.
With Thy joyous sunshine blest,
Happy is my day of rest!
2 Fount of all our joy and peace,
To Thy living waters lead me;
Thou from earth my soul release,
And with grace and mercy feed me.
Bless Thy Word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that Thou dost love.
3 Kindle Thou the sacrifice
That upon my lips is lying;
Clear the shadows from mine eyes,
That, from every error flying,
No strange fire may in me glow
That Thine altar doth not know.

Holy, holy,holy, singing,
Rapt a while from earth away,
All my soul to thee up-springing,
Have a foretaste, inly given,
How they worship Thee in heaven.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #46 (1899) Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made;
He calls the hours His own:
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround the throne.

And death's dread empire fell;
To-day the saints His triumph spread,
And all His wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to the anointed King,
To David's holy Son;
Help us, O Lord,--descend and bring
Salvation from Thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With messages of grace;
Who comes in God His Father's name
To save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna in the highest strains
The Church on earth can raise;
The highest heavens, in which He reigns,
Shall give Him nobler praise.

Welcome, delightful morn

Thou day of sacred rest!
I hail thy kind return;
Lord, make these moments blest:
From the low train of mortal toys,
I soar to reach immortal joys,
I soar to reach immortal joys.
2 Now may the King descend,
And fill His throne of grace:
Thy sceptre, Lord, extend,
While saints address Thy face;
Let sinners feel Thy quickening word,
And learn to know and fear the Lord,
And learn to know and fear the Lord.
3 Descend, celestial Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Disclose a Saviour's love,
And bless these sacred hours;
Then shall my soul new life obtain,
Nor Sabbath's ere be spent in vain,
Nor Sabbath's ere be spent in vain.

Welcome, delightful morn
Awake, ye saints, awake!
Author: Thomas Cotterill; Elizabeth Scott Hymnal: BWHT1899 #48 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints, awake!
And hail this sacred day;
In loftiest songs of praise
Your joyful homage pay:
Come, bless the day that God hath blest,
The type of heaven's eternal rest.
2 On this all-glorious morn
The Lord of life arose;
He burst the bars of death,
And vanquished all our foes:
And now He pleads our cause above,
And reaps the fruit of all His love.
3 All hail, triumphant Lord!
Heaven with hosannas rings,
And earth in humbler strains,
Thy praise responsive sings:
Worthy the Lamb, that once was slain,
Through endless years to live and reign!

Lord, in this sacred hour
Author: Stephen G. Bulfinch Hymnal: BWHT1899 #49 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Lord, in this sacred hour
Within Thy courts we bend,
And bless Thy love, and own thy power,
Our Father and our Friend.
2 But Thou art not alone
In courts by mortals trod;
Nor only is the day thine own
When man draws near to God.
3 Thy temple is the arch
Of yon unmeasured sky:
Thy Sabbath, the stupendous march
Of thine eternity.
4 Lord, may that holier day
Dawn on Thy servants' sight:
And purer worship may we pay
In heaven's unclouded light.
Amen.

Lord, in this sacred hour
O day of rest and gladness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: BWHT1899 #50 (1899) 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,
Bending before the throne,
Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy,
To the Great Three in One.
2 Today on weary nations
The heavenly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
3 New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest:
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One.

O day of rest and gladness
Sweet the time, exceeding sweet
Author: George Burder Hymnal: BWHT1899 #51 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Sweet the time, exceeding sweet,
When the saints together meet,
When the Saviour is the theme,
When they joy to sing of Him.
2 Sing we then eternal love,
Such as did the Father move:
He beheld the world undone,
Loved the world, and gave His Son.
3 Sing the Son's amazing love;
How He left the realms above,
Took our nature and our place,
Lived an died to save our race.
4 Sing we, too, the Spirit's love;
With our stubborn hearts He strove,
Filled our minds with grief and fear,
Brought the precious Saviour near.
5 Sweet the place, exceeding sweet,
Where the saints in glory meet:
Where the Saviour's still the theme,
Where they see and sing of Him.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: IONIA
Sweet the time, exceeding sweet
