1. Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek
On the approaching holy day;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest!
2 Mercies multiplied each hour
Through the week our praise demand;
Guarded by Almighty power,
Fed and guided by His hand:
though ungrateful we have been,
And repaying love with sin.
3 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's Name,
Show thy reconcilèd face,
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this night with Thee.
4 When the morn shall bid us rise,
May we feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
There afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
5 May Thy Gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
May the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Such the days of rest we love,
Till we join the Church above.
Hymnal: according to the use of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, 1871

At the age of eleven, after two years' schooling, during which he learned the rudiments of Latin, he went to sea with his father. His life at sea teems with wonderful escapes, vivid dreams, and sailor recklessness. He grew into an abandoned and godless sailor. The religious fits of his boyhood changed into settled infidelity, through the study of Shaftesbury and… Go to person page >| First Line: | Safely through another week |
