Author: Jane L. Borthwick; Jonathan Krause Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #40 (1899) Hymnal Title: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes Lyrics: 1 Hallelujah! fairest morning!
Fairer than our words can say!
Down we lay the heavy burden
Of our toil and care today;
While this morn of joy and love
Brings fresh vigor from above.
2 Sunday, full of holy glory!
Sweetest rest-day of the soul!
Light upon a world of darkness
From thy blessèd moments roll!
Holy, happy, heavenly day,
Thou canst charm our grief away.
3 In the gladness of God's worship
We will seek our joy to-day:
It is then we learn the fulness
Of the grace for which we pray;
When the word of life is given,
Like the Saviour's voice from heaven.
4 Let the day with Thee be ended,
As with Thee it has begun;
And Thy blessing, Lord, be granted,
Till earth's days and weeks are done;
That at last Thy servants may
Keep eternal Sabbath day.
Amen. Topics: Lord's Day Blessings of; Lord's Day Day of Worship; Lord's Day Emblem of eternal rest Languages: English Tune Title: NEANDER
