THE LORD'S PRAYER. UR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. OUR Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. I THE APOSTLES' CREED. BELIEVE in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth ; And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost; born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy, catholic Church; the Communion of Saints; the Forgiveness of sins; the Resurrection of the body; and the Life everlasting. Amen. THE LORD'S DAY. MIRIAM. 7s & 6s. D. 7. P. Holbrook. 1865. 1. O day of rest and glad-ness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sad-ness, D. S. Sing, Ho-ly, Holy, Holy, The light first had its birth; Christ rose from depths of earth; And thus on thee, most glorious 3 To-day on weary nations. The silver trumpet calls, With soul-refreshing streams. 4 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest: 2 To Holy Ghost be praises, The Church her voice upraises I THY holy day's returning Our thoughts from earth withdraw; 2 We join to sing thy praises, Its loudest, sweetest lay! Ray Palmer. 1834. SABBATH. 7s. 6 lines. 三 Lowell Mason. 1834. 1.Safely thro' another week, God has bro't us on our way; Let us now a blessing seek, Waiting in his courts to-day: Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest; Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest. 3 I SAFELY, through another week, 2 While we pray for pardoning grace, Through the dear Redeemer's name, Show thy reconciling face, Take away our sin and shame; 3 Here we come thy name to praise; While we in thy house appear: 4 May thy gospel's joyful sound Conquer sinners, comfort saints; Bring relief for all complaints: John Newton. 1779. 4 I HAIL, thou bright and sacred morn, From thy dawn in glory streams; 2 Sad and weary were our way, Fainting oft beneath our load, But for thee, thou blessed day, Resting-place on life's rough road : 3 Soon, too soon, the sweet repose 4 But the rest which yet remains O may every Sabbath here Bring us to that rest more near. Mrs. Julia Anne Elliott. 1835. LISCHER. H. M. German. Arr. by Lowell Mason. 1841. Welcome, de-light-ful morn, Thou day of sa- cred rest! turn; Lord, make these moments blest: From the low train of mor-tal toys, I THINE earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love, 3 No rude alarms of raging foes, No cares to break the long repose, 8 Dawn on these realms of woe and sin; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death, to rest with God. Philip Doddridge. 1755. I ANOTHER Six days' work is done, 2 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise, As grateful incense, to the skies; And draw from heaven that sweet repose, Which none but he that feels it knows. 3 This heavenly calm within the breast Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, Which for the church of God remains, The end of cares, the end of pains. 4 In holy duties, let the day, 9 In holy pleasures, pass away; I How sweet to leave the world awhile, 2 From busy scenes we now retreat, Thomas Kelly. 1809. |
