(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith)
1
Blessed day of rest and cheer!
Day divine, to us so dear!
When we gather, old and young,
Joining here in pray’r and song.
2
Now the week of toil is o’er,
And in peace we sit once more;
In Thy presence, gracious Lord,
Waiting for thy holy Word.
3
Lor,d our god, we seek Thy face,
Bless us with sustaining grace.
May Thy heralds ev’ry where,
Faithfully Thy truth declare.
4
Let Thy mighty word hold sway
Over all our hearts today,
Hung’ring souls, good Shepherd, feed,
Into pastures green us lead.
5
May, O Lord, the day be near,
When we pass from trials here
Into Thine eternal rest,
In the mansions of the blest.
