132. Safely thro' another week

1 Safely thro' another week,
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.

2 While we seek supplies of grace,
Thro' the dear Redeemer's name,
Show thy reconciling face--
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free--
May we rest this day in Thee;
From our worldly cares set free--
May we rest this day in Thee

3 Here we come Thy name to praise;
Let us feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glories meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear;
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting rest.

4 May the Gospel's joyful sound
Wake our minds to raptures new;
Let Thy victories abound--
Unrepenting souls subdue;
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we rest in Thee above.
