Saviour, again to Thy dear name we raise

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Appears in 865 hymnals Topics: Evening Sabbath; Sabbath (the Christian) Evening Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to Thy dear name we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise; We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease, Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace. 2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way; With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day; Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon Thy name. 3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night Turn Thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep Thy children free; For dark and light are both alike to Thee. 4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife; Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.

How bright a day was that which saw

Author: Anon. Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Worship The Sabbath Lyrics: 1 How bright a day was that which saw Creation's work complete! All nature owned her Maker's law, And worshiped at his feet. 2 The world, arranged by power divine, In perfect order stood; And, resting, from his great design, God saw that all was good. 3 Not such a Sabbath now appears, For sin has ruined all; No longer man with pleasure hears A gracious Father's call. 4 Yet, Lord, bring back the reign of peace, Let brighter days begin; And teach vain creatures how to cease From folly and from sin. 5 Let sinners be again made thine, Though once with vengance cursed; And let the holy Sabbath shine, As glorious as at first.
