Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest. Amen.

2 While we pray for pardoning grace, Through the dear Redeemer's name, Show Thy reconciled face;

Take away our sin and shame; From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this day in Thee.

3 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.

4 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. Amen.

2 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, thro' the coming night,
Turn Thou for us its darkness into light;

From harm and danger keep Thy children free,
For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

3 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way;
With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day;
Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon Thy Name.

4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace. Amen.
