O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #449 (2022) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Church, The Saints The Lord's Day 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 heav'n; and thus on thee, most glorious, a triple light was given. 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.

O day of rest and gladness

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #471 (1913) Topics: Lord's Day 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 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected With streams of Paradise; Thou at a cooling fountain, In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land. 4 Today on weary nations The heavenly 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. 5 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. Tune Title: [O day of rest and gladness]

We Bless Thee for This Sacred Day

Author: Caroline Gilman Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary #597 (1972) Topics: Seasons, Days, Services The Lord's Day Lyrics: 1 We bless Thee for this sacred day, Thou, who hast ev'ry blessing giv'n, Which sends the cares of earth away, And yields a view of op'ning heav'n. 2 Rich day of holy, thoughtful rest! May we improve its calm repose, And in Thy service truly blest, Forget the world, its joys, its woes. 3 Lord! may Thy truth upon the heart Now fall and dwell as heav'nly dew, And flow'rs of grace in freshness start Where once the tares of error grew. 4 May pray'r that lifts us from earth's strife, Intent with one clear aim alone, Bear us to Thee, Thou Lord of Life, And rest us at Thy shelt'ring throne.
