Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #85 (1970) Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of cure and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright:
On thee, the high and lowly,
Thru ages joined in tune,
Sing "Holy, Holy, Holy,"
To the great God Triune.
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 giv'n.
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: Lord's Day Languages: English Tune Title: MENDEBRAS
