The Lord's Day. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. PSALM 118: 24. 1. Safely through an - oth - er week God has brought us on our way; Here flow forth the streams of grace, Strengthened hence we run our race. 37 2 Great Creator! Who this day Shine through all its sin and gloom: 4 Blesséd Spirit! Comforter ! Sent this day from Christ on high; Cleanse, illumine, sanctify! All Thine influence shed abroad, LISBON. S. M. 1. Welcome, sweet day of rest, That saw the Lord arise! Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes! Welcome to this reviving breast, And these rejoicing eyes! 25 2 Our willing feet shall stand Within the temple door, While young and old, in many a band, Shall throng the sacred floor. 3 Thither the tribes repair, Where all are wont to meet, And, joyful in the house of prayer, Bend at the mercy-seat. 4 Pray for Jerusalem, The city of our God; The Lord from heaven be kind to them That love the dear abode. 5 Within these walls may peace 6 For friends and brethren dear, 42 I My God, permit my tongue This joy, to call Thee mine; And let my early cries prevail To taste Thy love divine. 2 My thirsty, fainting soul Thy mercy does implore; Not travelers in desert lands Can pant for water more. 3 Within Thy churches, Lord, I long to find my place; And feel Thy quickening grace. 4 Since Thou hast been my help, 5 The shadow of Thy wings |
