For the mercies of the day
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #523 (1870) Topics: Evening Hymns of Lord's Day; Lord's Day; Sabbath; Worship Family Lyrics: 1 For the mercies of the day,
For this rest upon our way,
Thanks to Thee alone be given,
Lord of earth and King of heaven!
2 Cold our services have been,
Mingled every prayer with sin;
But Thou canst and wilt forgive;
By Thy grace alone we live.
3 While this thorny path we tread,
May Thy love our footsteps lead;
When our journey here is past,
May we rest with Thee at last.
4 Let these earthly Sabbaths prove
Foretastes of our joys above;
While their steps Thy children bend
To the rest which knows no end. Languages: English
For the mercies of the day
Another six days' work is done
Author: Stennett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #530 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; The Lord's Day 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.
Scripture: Nehemiah 13:19
Another six days' work is done
Again the Lord of life and light
Author: Mrs. Barbauld Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #540 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; The Lord's-Day Morning Lyrics: 1 Again the Lord of life and light
Awakes the kindling ray,
Unseals the eyelids of the morn,
And pours increasing day.
2 Oh, what a night was that which wrapped
The heathen world in gloom!
Oh, what a sun which broke, this day,
Triumphant from the tomb!
3 This day be grateful homeage paid,
And loud hosannas sung;
Let gladness dwell in every heart,
And praise on every tongue.
4 Ten thousand differing lips shall join
To hail this welcome morn,
Which scatters blessings from its wings
To nations yet unborn. Scripture: Luke 24:1-7
Again the Lord of life and light
When the worn spirit wants repose
Author: Edmeston Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #541 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; The Spirit's Day of Rest Lyrics: 1 When the worn spirit wants repose,
And sighs her God to seek;
How sweet to hail the evening's close
That ends the weary week!
2 How sweet to hail the early dawn,
That opens on the sight
When first that soul-reviving morn
Sheds forth new rays of light!
3 Sweet day, thine hours too soon will cease;
Yet, while they gently roll,
Breathe, Heavenly Spirit, source of peace,
A Sabbath o'er my soul.
4 When will my pilgrimage be done,
The world's long week be o'er,
That Sabbath dawn which needs no sun,
That day which fades no more?
When the worn spirit wants repose
Our Sabbaths come so welcome on
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #625 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Lord's Day Morning; The Sabbath Lyrics: 1 Our Sabbaths come so welcome on,
We wish them to remain awhile,
But soon, alas! their joys are gone,
And scarce "bequeath a parting smile."
2 Full many are the hours of grief,
Allotted to the sons of men,
Our Sabbaths bring a short relief,
Yet leave us but to mourn again.
3 Ye peaceful days! and thou blest sun!
Why roll ye in such haste away?
Ye happy hours! why flow ye on
So fast towards eternity?
4 O! if ye bring an endless day,
Speed fast along, nor ever cease;
We'll gladly feel your joys decay,
In perfect and enduring bliss. Scripture: Psalm 84:10
Our Sabbaths come so welcome on
On this sweet morn my Lord arose
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #626 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sabbath Morning; The Lord's Day Morning Lyrics: 1 On this sweet morn my Lord arose,
Triumphant o'er the grave!
He dies to vanquish all my foes,
And lives again to save.
2 This is the day for holy rest,
Yet clouds will gather soon,
Except my Lord become my guest,
And put my harp in tune.
3 No heavenly fire my heart can raise,
Without the Spirit's aid;
His breath must kindle pray'r and praise,
Or I am cold and dead.
4 On all the flocks thy Spirit pour,
And saving health convey;
A sweet, refreshing Sunday show'r
Will make them sing and pray.
5 Direct thy shepherds how to feed
The flocks of thy own choice;
Give savour to the heavenly bread,
And bid the folds rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 118:24
On this sweet morn my Lord arose
Come, dearest Lord, and feed thy sheep
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #627 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sabbath Morning; The Lord's Day Morning Lyrics: 1 Come, dearest Lord, and feed thy sheep,
On this sweet day of rest;
O bless this flock, and make this fold
Enjoy a heavenly rest.
2 Welcome, and precious to my soul,
Are these sweet days of love;
But what a Sabbath shall I keep,
When I shall rest above!
3 I come, I wait, I hear, I pray,
Thy footsteps, Lord, I trace,
Here, in thine own appointed way,
I wait to see thy face.
4 These are the sweet and precious days
On which my Lord I've seen;
And oft, when feasting on his word,
In raptures I have been.
5 O if my soul, when death appears,
In this sweet frame be found:
I'd clasp my Saviour in my arms,
And leave this earthly ground.
6 I long for that delightful hour,
when from this clay undrest,
I shall be cloth'd in robes divine,
And made for ever blest.
Come, dearest Lord, and feed thy sheep
Safely thro' another week
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #628 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Sabbath Morning; The Lord's Day Morning Lyrics: 1 Safely thro' 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,
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.
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 thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
May the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints.
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the church above.
Safely thro' another week
Lord of the Sabbath, hear our vows
