And Now This Holy Day
VERSE 1
And now
this holy day
Is
drawing to its end,
Once
more, to Thee, O Lord,
Our
thanks and prayers we send.
VERSE 2
We thank
Thee for this rest
From
earthly care and strife;
We thank
Thee for this help
To
higher, holier life.
VERSE 3
We thank
Thee for Thy house;
It is
Thy palace-gate
Where
Thou, upon Thy throne
Of
mercy, still dost wait.
VERSE 4
We thank
Thee for Thy Word,
Thy Gospel’s
joyful sound;
Oh, may
its holy fruits
Within
our hearts abound!
VERSE 5
Yet, ere
we go to rest,
Father,
to Thee we pray,
Forgive
the sins that stain
E’en
this Thy holy day.
VERSE 6
Through
Jesus let the past
Be
blotted from Thy sight,
And let
us all now sleep
At peace
with Thee this night.
VERSE 7
To God
the Father, Son,
And
Spirit glory be,
From all
in earth and Heav’n,
Through
all eternity.
