1 To thee O Saviour glory be! This is the day of rest-- On which we join to worship thee, Thee, O thou ever bless'd!
2 This is the day the Saviour rose And set us pris'ners free; The day which the Apostles chose, The day of rest to be.
3 On which the christian church should meet To praise our gracious Lord! To worship at his mercy's seat, To hear and learn his word.
4 Lord, here we join thy praise to sing! Lord, here we join to pray-- To worship thee our Lord and King, Our life, the truth, the way.
