The Cyber Hymnal ‎#4040

4040. Lord, This Day Thy Children Meet

1. Lord, this day Thy children meet
In Thy house, with willing feet;
Unto Thee this day they raise
Grateful hearts in hymns of praise.

2. Not alone the day of rest
With Thy worship shall be blest;
In our pleasure and our glee,
Lord, we would remember Thee.
