Sacred day, forever blest!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #534 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Sacred day, forever blest! Day of all our days the best! Welcome hours of praise and prayer, Free from toil, fatigue, and care! 2 Happy, truly happy, Lord, Those who hear and read thy word! Happy those who dwell with thee! Who thy grace and glory see. 3 We once more have heard thy voice, Lord, in thee our souls rejoice; Borne by faith to worlds on high, Called to reign above the sky. 4 Though this day of rest we close, Still in thee our hearts repose; Guide and guard us all our days: Oh, may all our lives be praise! Topics: The Christian Church The Sabbath; Sabbath Privileges Scripture: Psalm 122:6-9

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Sacred day, forever blest!" in The Voice of Praise In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
