Author: Bishop C. Wordsworth Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #15 (1929) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D 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,
Bending before the throne,
Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy,
To the great Three in One.
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 given.
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. Topics: Worship Languages: English Tune Title: MENDEBRAS
