Author: Rev. John Newton Hymnal: Uplifted Voices #91 (1901) Lyrics: 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,
Thro’ 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, with Thee;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest, this day, with Thee.
3 Here we come Thy name to praise,
May we 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.
5 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;
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the church above. Tune Title: [Safely through another week]
