Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#336

336. Safely Through Another Week

1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest,
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.

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 earthly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee,
From our earthly 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,
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 let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above,
Thus let all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above.
