Sabbath Day

Author: Joel Blomqvist; Andrew L. Skoog, 1856-1934 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5866 Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: Sabbath day of rest and cheer Lyrics: 1. Sabbath day of rest and cheer! Day divine, to me so dear! Come, O come to old and young, Gath’ring all for prayer and song. 2. Now the week of toil is o’er, And in peace we sit once more At our Father’s ample board, Listening to His gracious Word. 3. Lord, our God, we seek Thy face, Bless us with Thy saving grace; May Thy heralds everywhere Clear Thy Gospel truth declare. 4. Let Thy mighty Word hold sway Over men on earth today; Our poor souls, good Shepherd, feed, Into pastures green us lead. 5. May, O Lord, the day be near, When we pass from trials here Into Thine eternal rest, In the mansions of the blest. Languages: English Tune Title: SABBATSDAG
