O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: H1955 #70 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Scripture: Genesis 1:3 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, Through 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 heaven; And thus on thee, most glorious, A triple light was given. 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. Amen.
