- Safely through another week,
God has brought us on our way,
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts today;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest, - While we seek supplies of grace,
Thro' the dear Redeemer's name,
Show thy reconciling face,
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in thee,
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in thee. - Here we come thy name to praise;
Let us feel thy presence near;
May thy glory reach our eyes,
While we in thy house appear;
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast,
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast. - May thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints;
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we rest in thee alone,
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we rest in thee above
Amen.
