Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnbook #74 (1955) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Safely through another week Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week,
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
2 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciled face,
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
3 Here we come Thy name to praise;
Let us feel Thy presence near:
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast;
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
4 May Thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above;
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; God Presence; Lord's Day, The; Worship Lord's Day, The Scripture: Leviticus 19:30 Tune Title: SABBATH
