Author: John Mason Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #309 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest day of God! most calm, most bright,
The first, the best of days;
The toiler's rest, the saint's delight,
The day of prayer and praise.
2 My Saviour's face made thee to shine;
His rising thee did raise,
And made thee heav'nly and divine
Beyond all other days.
3 The firstfruits oft a blessing prove
To all the sheaves behind;
And they the day of Christ who love
A happy week shall find.
4 This day I must with God appear;
For, Lord, the day is Thine;
Help me to spend it in Thy fear,
And thus to make it mine.
Amen. Topics: Worship Prayer and Praise; The Lord's Day; Lord's Day; Thanksgiving Languages: English Tune Title: CHESTERFIELD
