Sabbath Day

VERSE 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.

 

VERSE 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.

 

VERSE 3

Lord, our God, we seek Thy face,

Bless us with Thy saving grace;

May Thy heralds everywhere

Clear Thy Gospel truth declare.

 

VERSE 4

Let Thy mighty Word hold sway

Over men on earth today;

Our poor souls, good Shepherd, feed,

Into pastures green us lead.

 

VERSE 5

May, O Lord, the day be near,

When we pass from trials here

Into Thine eternal rest,

In the mansions of the blest.
