Welcome, sweet day of rest
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 765 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise;
Welcome to this reviving breast
And these rejoicing eyes.
2 The King Himself comes near,
And feasts His saints to-day;
Here may we sit, and see Him here,
And love and praise and pray.
3 One day within the place
Where Christ, my Lord, has been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Within the tents of sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
Till called to rise and soar away
To everlasting bliss.
Amen. Topics: Fellowship with God; Lord's Day Day of Worship; Lord's Day Welcomed Used With Tune: LISBON
Welcome, sweet day of rest
Lord of the worlds above
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 501 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the worlds above,
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of Thy love,
Thine earthly temples are!
To Thine abode my heart aspires,
With warm desires to see my God.
2 O happy souls that pray
Where God appoints to hear!
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there!
They praise Thee still; and happy they,
Who love the way to Zion's hill.
3 They go from strength to strength,
Through this dark vale of tears,
Till each arrives at length,
Till each in heaven appears:
O glorious seat, where God our King,
Shall thither bring our willing feet!
Amen.

Lord of the worlds above
Bless, O my soul! the living God
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 301 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bless, O my soul! the living God;
Call home thy thoughts that rove abroad;
Let all the powers within me join
In work and worship so divine.
2 Bless, O my soul! the God of Grace;
His favors claim thy highest praise;
Why should the wonders He hath wrought
Be lost in silence, and forgot?
3 'Tis He, my soul, that sent His Son
To die for crimes which thou hast done;
He owns the ransom, and forgives
The hourly follies of our lives.
4 Let every land His power confess;
Let all the earth adore His grace:
My heart and tongue with rapture join,
In work and worship so divine.
Amen. Topics: God Forbearance of; God Grace of ; Praise To God Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
Bless, O my soul! the living God
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Appears in 2,201 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise:
Teach me some melodious measure,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Fill my soul with sacred pleasure,
While I sing redeeming love.
2 Here I raise mine Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help I've come,
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee!
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it:
Prone to leave the God I love--
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Amen. Topics: God Grace of ; God Mercies of; Praise To God Used With Tune: NETTLETON

God, that madest earth and heaven
Author: Reginald Heber; Richard Whately Appears in 473 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, that madest earth and heaven,
Darkness and light;
Who the day for toil hast given,
For rest the night;
May Thine angel-guards defend us,
Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us,
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,
This livelong night.
2 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
And, when we die,
May we in Thy mighty keeping
All peaceful lie:
When the last dread call shall wake us,
do not Thou or God forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us
With Thee on high.

God, that madest earth and heaven
This is the day the Lord hath made
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 589 hymnals 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.
2 To-day arose our glorious Head,
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.

My God, how wonderful Thou art
Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 343 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, how wonderful Thou art,
Thy majesty how bright!
How glorious is Thy mercy-seat,
In depths of burning light!
2 Yet, I may love Thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as Thou art;
For Thou hast stooped to ask of me
The love of my poor heart.
3 No earthly father loves like Thee,
No mother half so mild
Bears and forbears, as thou hast done
With me, Thy sinful child.
4 My God, how wonderful Thou art,
Thou everlasting Friend!
On Thee I stay my trusting heart,
Till faith in vision end.

Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never:
God is wisdom, God is love.
3 Even the hour that darkest seemeth,
Will His changeless goodness prove;
From the gloom His brighness streameth:
God is wisdom, God is love.

Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere His glory shineth:
God is wisdom, God is love.

The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 567 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my Shepherd; I'll not want:
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.
2 My soul He doth restore again;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Even for His own Name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
Yet will I fear none ill;
For Thou art with me; and Thy rod
And staff me comfort still.
4 My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Shall surely follow me;
And in God's house forevermore
My dwelling-place shall be.

Be all the powers and thrones in heaven.

The prophets aid to swell the song;
The noble and triumphant host
Of martyrs make of Thee their boast

Throughout the world exalts Thy praise;
Both heaven and earth do worship Thee,
Thou Father of eternity!
5 From day to day, O Lord, do we
Highly exalt and honor Thee;
Thy name we worship and adore,
World without end, for evermore.
