Lyrics
1. Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
on th’approaching Sabbath day;
|:Day of all the week the best,
emblem of eternal rest.:|
2. Mercies multiplied each hour
through the week our praise demand;
Guarded by almighty power,
fed and guided by His hand;
|:Though ungrateful we have been,
only made returns of sin.:|
3. While we seek supplies of grace
Through 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. :|
4. While we pray for pardoning grace,
through the dear Redeemer’s Name,
Show Thy reconciled face,
shine away our sin and shame;
|:From our worldly cares set free,
may we rest this night with Thee.:|
5. Here we come Thy Name to praise,
let us feel Thy presence near,
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
while we in Thy house appear:
|:Here afford us, Lord, a taste
of our everlasting feast.:|
6. When the morn shall bid us rise,
may we feel Thy presence near:
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
when we in Thy house appear:
|:There afford us, Lord, a taste
of our everlasting feast.:|
7. May Thy Gospel’s joyful sound
conquer sinners, comfort saints;
May the fruits of grace abound,
bring relief for all complaints;
|:Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
till we join the church above!:|
