O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 813 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 2:2-3 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, Through ages joined in tune, Sing "Holy, holy, holy," To the great God Triune. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord, victorious The Spirit sent from heav'n; And thus on thee most glorious A triple light was giv'n. 3 Today on weary nations 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. 4 New graces ever gaining 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. Amen Used With Tune: MENDEBRAS

Grant also these Your presence, And be their dearest guest. Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heav'nly wine, And teach them, in the testing, To know the gift divine. 3 O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So searching in Your pureness, So tender in Your love That, guarded by Your presence And kept from strife and sin, Their hearts may heed Your guidance And know You dwell within. 4 Unless You build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Unless You, Saviour, bless it, The joy will turn to pain. But nothing breaks the union Of hearts in You made one; The love Your Spirit hallows Is endless love begun. Topics: Marriage Used With Tune: AURELIA
