Lord of the Sabbath

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: RHC #85 (1970) Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of cure and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright: On thee, the high and lowly, Thru ages joined in tune, Sing "Holy, Holy, Holy," To the great God Triune. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee, our Lord, victorious, The Spirit sent from heav'n; And thus, on thee, most glorious, A triple light was giv'n. 3 Today on weary nations The heav'nly 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. 4 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. Amen. Topics: Lord's Day Languages: English Tune Title: MENDEBRAS

Safely Through Another Week

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 Ghy 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.
