to praise your name, give thanks and sing;
to show your love by morning light,
and talk of all your truth at night.
2 Sweet is the day, the first and best,
on which I share your sacred rest;
so let my heart in tune be found
like David’s harp of joyful sound.
3 My heart shall triumph in the Lord
and bless his works, and bless his word:
God's works of grace, how bright they shine—
how deep his counsels, how divine!
4 Soon shall I see and hear and know
all I desired on earth below;
all that is evil then shall cease,
Satan no longer break my peace.
5 No more shall I be snared by sin
vexing my mind and heart within,
but all my powers for God employ
in that eternal world of joy. Topics: Approaching God The Lord's Day Used With Tune: DEEP HARMONY
Sweet is the work, my God, my King
