Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #528 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 54:6 Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing;
To show thy love by morning light,
And talk of all thy truth at night.
2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal cares should seize my breast;
Oh, may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp, of solemn sound.
3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord,
And bless his works, and bless his word;
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine!
How deep thy counsels! how divine!
4 Lord, I shall share a glorious part
When grace hath well refined my heart,
And fresh supplies of joy are shed,
Like holy oil, to cheer my head.
5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know
All I desired or wished below;
And every power find sweet employ
In that eternal world of joy. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; A Hymn for the Sabbath
