Author: John Newton Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #548 (1974) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 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;
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 reconcilèd face,
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this night with Thee;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this night with Thee.
3 Here we come Thy name to praise;
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;
There 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.
