Welcome, delightful morn
Hymnal: BW1870 #35 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Welcome, delightful morn,
Thou day of sacred rest!
I hail thy kind return;--
Lord, make these moments blest:
From the low train of mortal toys,
I soar to reach immortal joys.
2 Now may the King descend
And fill His throne of grace;
Thy sceptre, Lord, extend,
While saints address Thy face:
Let sinners feel Thy quickening word,
And learn to know and fear the Lord.
3 Descend, celestial Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Disclose a Saviour's love,
And bless the sacred hours:
Then shall my soul new life obtain,
Nor Sabbaths be enjoy'd in vain. Topics: Lord's Day; Praise hymns of genearl praise; Sabbath; Worship hymns of opening Languages: English
Welcome, delightful morn
Safely through another week
Hymnal: BW1870 #36 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts to-day:
Day of all the week the best;
Emblem of eternal rest!
2 While we seek supplies of grace,
Through the dear Redeemer’s name,
Show Thy reconciling face--
Take away our sins and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this night with Thee.
3 Here we're come, Thy name to praise;
Let us feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
4 May the gospel’s joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints;
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above. Topics: Lord's Day; Praise hymns of genearl praise; Sabbath; Worship hymns of opening Languages: English

Awake, ye saints, awake!
Hymnal: BW1870 #37 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints, awake!
And hail this sacred day;
In loftiest songs of praise
Your joyful homage pay:
Come, bless the day that God hath blest,
The type of heaven's eternal rest.
2 On this auspicious morn
The Lord of life arose;
He burst the bars of death,
And vanquish'd all our foes;
An now He pleads our cause above,
And reaps the fruits of all His love.
3 All hail, triumphant Lord!
Heaven with hosannas rings,
And earth in humbler strains,
Thy praise responsive sings:
Worthy the Lamb, that once was slain,
Through endless years to live and reign!

Another six days' work is done

Another Sabbath is begun;
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day Thy God has blessed.

So sweet a rest to wearied minds;
Provides an antepast of heaven,
And gives this day the food of sev'n.

As grateful incense to the skies;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose
Which none, but he who feels it, knows.

In various scenes, both old and new;
With praise we think of mercies past,
With hope we future pleasures taste.

In holy pleasures pass away:
How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end. Topics: God as Cratior and Preserver, praise to; Lord's Day; Praise hymns of genearl praise; Sabbath; Worship hymns of opening; God as Creator and Preserver, praise to Languages: English

O day of rest and gladness,
Hymnal: BW1870 #41 (1870) Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright;
On thee, the high and lowly,
Bending before the throne,
Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy,
To the Great Three in One.

The heav'nly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.

From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest:
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One. Topics: Lord's Day; Praise hymns of genearl praise; Sabbath; Worship hymns of opening Languages: English

Lord of the Sabbath! hear our vows

On this Thy day, in this Thy house;
And own as grateful sacrifice
The songs which from thy Church arise.
2 Thine earthly sabbaths, Lord, we love;
But there's a nobler rest above:
Thy servants to that rest aspire
With ardent hope and strong desire.
3 There languor shall no more oppress;
The heart shall feel no more distress;
No groans shall mingle with the songs
That dwell upon immortal tongues.
4 No gloomy cares shall there annoy,
No conscious guilt disturb our joy;
But ev'ry doubt and fear shall cease,
And perfect love give perfect peace.
5 When shall that glorious day begin,
Beyond the reach of death r sin;
Whose sun shall never more decline
But with unfading lustre shine!

And talk of all Thy truth at night.

No mortal care shall fill my breast;
My heart shall triumph in my Lord,
And bless His works, and bless His word.

When grace hath well refined my heart,
When doubts and fears no more remain
To break my inward peace again.

All I desired or wish'd below;
And ev'ry power find sweet employ
In that eternal world of joy. Topics: Lord's Day; Praise hymns of genearl praise; Sabbath; Worship hymns of opening Languages: English
