Zion's Harp ‎#126

126. O how welcome is the Lord’s Day

1 O how welcome is the Lord’s Day,
Joyous Day for all the ransomed!
Day of peace and day of rest,
Consecrated to God’s blest.

2 Hear the words of exhortation
From the Master of creation.
We can feel His love for all.
Heed, obey His tender call.

3 Ye redeemed, continue praising,
Joyfully your voices raising,
Thanking God for His great love,
Manifested from above.

4 He, who never has denied us,
But abundantly supplied us,
Took our sins and guilt away
And provides for us each day.

5 May this be a day of blessing!
In Thee, Lord, we are rejoicing.
He’s the sun, whose radiance bright
Fills our hearts with warmth and light.

6 Lord, may we in fullest measure
Seek to do Thy will with pleasure.
Let us ever live for Thee,
Free from sin and vanity.

7 Father, through Thy word awaken
Us to faith and true devotion!
Zeal to serve Thee do Thou give;
Show us that Thy Son still lives.

8 For Thy fervent love we pray Thee!
May we ever striving daily
On the sorrowing bestow
Words of comfort in their woe.

9 Precious Teacher, leave us never!
We would follow Thee forever
Praying, seeking, trusting Thee,
Till Thy glory we shall see.
