How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest

Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest, The day of the week which I surely love best, The morning my Saviour arose from the tomb, And took from the grave all its terror and gloom. 2 Oh, let me be thoughtful and prayerful today, And not spend a minute in trifling or play, Remembering these seasons were graciously given To teach me to seek and prepare me for heaven. 3 In the house of my God, in his presence and fear, When I worship to-day, may it all be sincere! In the school when I learn, may I do it with care, And be grateful to those who watch over me there! 4 Instruct me, my Saviour: a child though I be, I am not too young to be noticed by thee; Renew all my heart, keep me firm in thy ways: I would love thee, and serve thee, and give thee the praise.

I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest

Author: Anon. Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest In that promised land of the good and the blest. Where sin can no longer her blandishments spread, Where tears and temptations forever are fled? 2 I'm weary of sighing o'er sorrows of earth, O'er joy's glowing visions that fade at their birth, O'er pangs for the loved which we cannot assuage, O'er blightings of you and the weakness of age. 3 I'm weary of hoping, where hope is untrue, As fair but as fleeting as bright morning dew; I long for that land whose blest promise alone Is changeless, and sure as eternity's throne. 4 I'm weary of loving what passes away; The sweetest and dearest, alas! may not stay: I long for that land where these partings are o'er, And death and the tomb can divide us no more! 5 O Jesus, my Saviour, when shall I behold That morning long promised by prophets of old, When sin's night of sorrow forever is past, And death's silent captives are ransomed at last?

As Shadows Cast by Cloud and Sun

Author: William Bryant Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1. As shadows cast by cloud and sun Flit o’er the summer grass, So, in Thy sight, Almighty One, Earth’s generations pass. And as the years, an endless host, Come swiftly pressing on, The brightest names that earth can boast Just glisten and are gone. 2. Yet doth the star of Bethlehem shed A luster pure and sweet; And still it leads, as once it led, To the Messiah’s feet. O Father, may that holy star Grow every year more bright, And send its glorious beams afar To fill the world with light. Used With Tune: GOSHEN
