Happy the soul to Jesus joined
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #523 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Happy the souls to Jesus joined,
And saved by grace alone;
Walking in all his ways, they find
Their heaven on earth begun.
2 The church triumphant in thy love,
Their mighty joys we know;
They sing the Lamb in hymns above,
And we in hymns below.
3 Thee in thy glorious realm they praise,
And bow before thy throne;
We in the kingdom of thy grace--
The kingdoms are but one.
4 The holy to the holiest leads,
And thence our spirits rise;
For he that in thy statutes treads,
Shall meet thee in the skies. Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; The Two Kingdoms Scripture: Psalm 133:1
Happy the soul to Jesus joined
Jesus, Lord, we look to thee
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #524 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lord, we look to thee;
Let us in thy name agree;
Show thyself the Prince of Peace;
Bid our jars forever cease.
2 By thy reconciling love,
Every stumbling-block remove:
Each to each unite, endear;
Come, and spread thy banner here.
3 Make us of one heart and mind--
Courteous, pitiful, and kind;
Lowly, meek, in thought and word--
Altogether like our Lord.
4 Let us for each other care;
Each the other's burden bear;
To thy church the pattern give;
Show how true believers live.
5 Free from anger and from pride,
Let us thus in God abide;
All the depths of love express--
All the heights of holiness.
6 Let us then with joy remove
To the family above;
On the wings of angels fly:
Show how true believers die. Topics: The Christian Church Fellowship; Banner of Love Scripture: Isaiah 9:6
Jesus, Lord, we look to thee
Welcome, delightful morn
Author: Hayward Hymnal: VoP1873 #525 (1873) 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 scepter, 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.
New Sabbaths be enjoyed in vain. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Sabbath Morning Scripture: Exodus 16:23
Welcome, delightful morn
Welcome, sweet day of rest
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #526 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Welcome, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise;
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes.
2 The King himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day;
Here we may sit and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 One day amidst the place
Which Jesus dwells within,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And sit and sing herself away
To everlasting bliss.
Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Day of Rest Scripture: Psalm 27:4-5
Welcome, sweet day of rest
Safely through another week
Author: Newton Hymnal: VoP1873 #527 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 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 care set free,
May we rest this day in 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: The Christian Church The Sabbath; The Sabbath Day Scripture: Nehemiah 13:19
Safely through another week
Sweet is the work, my God, my King
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #528 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise thy name, give thanks, and sing;
To show thy love by morning light,
And talk of all thy truth at night.
2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest;
No mortal cares should seize my breast;
Oh, may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp, of solemn sound.
3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord,
And bless his works, and bless his word;
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine!
How deep thy counsels! how divine!
4 Lord, I shall share a glorious part
When grace hath well refined my heart,
And fresh supplies of joy are shed,
Like holy oil, to cheer my head.
5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know
All I desired or wished below;
And every power find sweet employ
In that eternal world of joy. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; A Hymn for the Sabbath Scripture: Psalm 52:9
Sweet is the work, my God, my King
Softly fades the twilight ray
Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: VoP1873 #529 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray
Of the holy Sabbath day;
Gently as life's setting sun,
When the Christian's course is run.
2 Night her solemn mantle spreads
O'er the earth, as daylight fades;
All things tell of calm repose
At the holy Sabbath's close.
3 Peace is on the world abroad;
'Tis the holy peace of God--
Symbol of the peace within,
When the spirit rests from sin.
4 Still the Spirit lingers near,
Where the evening worshipper
Seeks communion with the skies,
Pressing onward to the prize. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Sabbath Evening Scripture: Matthew 14:23
Softly fades the twilight ray
Another six days' work is done
Author: Stennett Hymnal: VoP1873 #530 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Another six days' work is done,
Another Sabbath is begun:
Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest,
Improve the day thy God has blest.
2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns
So sweet a rest to wearied minds;
Provides an antepast of heaven,
And gives this day the food of seven.
3 Oh, that our thoughts and thanks may rise
As grateful incense to the skies;
And draw from heaven that sweet repose
Which none, but he who feels it, knows.
4 With joy, great God! thy works we view
In various scenes, both old and new;
With praise we think of mercies past,
With hope we future pleasures taste.
5 In holy duties let the day,
In holy pleasures pass away:
How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
In hope of one that ne'er shall end.
Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; The Lord's Day Scripture: Nehemiah 13:19
Another six days' work is done
There is a time when moments flow
Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #531 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 There is a time when moments flow
More happily than all beside;
It is, of all the times below,
A Sabbath of the eventide.
2 Oh, then the setting sun shines fair,
And all below, and all above,
The various forms of nature, wear
One universal garb of love.
3 And then the peace that Jesus brought,
The life of grace eternal beams,
And we, by his example taught,
Improve the life his love redeems.
4 Delightful scene! a world at rest;
A God of love; no grief, no fear;
A heavenly hope, a peaceful breast,
A smile, unsullied by a tear. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Sabbath Eventide Scripture: Philippians 2:29
There is a time when moments flow
This is the day the Lord hath made
Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #532 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made;
He calls the hours his own;
Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad,
And praise surround his throne.
2 To-day he rose and left the dead,
And Satan's empire fell;
To-day the saints his triumphs spread,
And all his wonders tell.
3 Hosanna to th' anointed King,
To David's holy Son!
Help us, O Lord! descend and bring
Salvation from thy throne.
4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men
With messages of grace;
Who comes, in God his Father's name,
To save our sinful race.
5 Hosanna! in the highest strains
The church on earth can raise;
The highest heavens, in which he reigns,
Shall give him nobler praise. Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Blessings of the Sabbath Scripture: Exodus 20:8-11
This is the day the Lord hath made
