Again returns the day of holy rest
Safely through Another Week
Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,013 hymnals Topics: The Church The Lord's Day Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
let us now a blessing seek,
waiting in his courts today;
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 pray for pard'ning 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,
from our worldly cares set free,
may we rest this day in thee.
3 Here we come thy name to praise,
let us feel thy presence near;
may thy glory meet our eyes,
while we in thy house appear:
here afford us, Lord, a taste
of our everlasting feast,
here afford us, Lord, a taste
of our everlasting feast.
4 May thy gospel's joyful sound
conquer sinners, comfort saints;
may the fruits of grace abound,
bring relief for all complaints:
thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
till we join the church above,
thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
till we join the church above. Scripture: Isaiah 66:23 Used With Tune: SABBATH

O Splendor of God's Glory Bright
Author: Ambrose of Milan; Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Lord's Day Morning Lyrics: 1 O Splendor of God's glory bright,
from light eternal bringing light,
O Light of light, light's living Spring,
true Day, all days illumining:
2 Come, very Sun of heaven's love,
in lasting radiance from above,
and pour the Holy Spirit's ray
on all we think or do today.
3 And now to thee our pray'rs ascend,
O Father, glorious without end;
we plead with Sovereign Grace for pow'r
to conquer in temptation's hour.
4 Confirm our will to do the right,
and keep our hearts from envy's blight;
let faith her eager fires renew,
and hate the false, and love the true.
5 O joyful be the passing day
with thoughts as pure as morning's ray,
with faith like noontide shining bright,
our souls unshadowed by the night.
6 Dawn's glory gilds the earth and skies,
let him, our perfect Morn, arise,
the Word in God the Father one,
the Father imaged in the Son.

Great God, what do I see and hear!
Author: J. Cotterill; W. B. Collyer Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 296 hymnals Topics: Day of Judgment Lyrics: 1 Great God! what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear
On clouds of glory seated!
The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet Him!
2 The dead in Christ shall first arise
At the last trumpet's sounding,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies;
With joy their Lord surrounding:
No gloomy fears their souls dismay,
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet Him.
3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold His wrath prevailing;
For they shall rise and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing;
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling, they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet Him.
4 Great God, to Thee my spirit clings,
Thy boundless love declaring;
One wondrous sight my comfort brings,
The Judge my nature wearing.
Beneath His cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet Him.
Amen.

Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.

The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be near you, your troubles to bless,
And sanctify to you your deepest distress.

I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake."

In pastures green; He leadeth me

Within the paths of righteousness,
E'en for his own name's sake.

Yet will I fear none ill;
For thou art with me; and thy rod
And staff me comfort still.

In presence of my foes;
My head thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.

Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be.

Lord of the Sabbath, Hear Us Pray
Author: Philip Doddridge; Thomas Cotterill Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 181 hymnals Topics: Lord's Day Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray,
in this your house, on this your day;
and own, as grateful sacrifice,
the songs which from your temple rise.
2 Now met to pray and bless your name,
whose mercies flow each day the same,
whose kind compassions never cease,
we seek instruction, pardon, peace.
3 Your earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love,
but there's a nobler rest above;
to that our lab'ring souls aspire
with ardent hope and strong desire.
4 In your blest kingdom we shall be
from ev'ry mortal trouble free:
no sighs shall mingle with the songs
resounding from immortal tongues.
5 No rude alarms of raging foes,
no cares to break the long repose,
no midnight shade, no waning moon,
but sacred, high, eternal noon.
6 O long-expected day, begin,
dawn on these realms of woe and sin!
Break, morn of God, upon our eyes;
and let the world's true Sun arise!
Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Used With Tune: GERMANY
Lord of the Sabbath, Hear Us Pray
