Sweet is the work, my God, my King

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: HAGA1895 #41 (1895)

Another six days' work is done

Author: Rev. Joseph Stennett Hymnal: HAGA1895 #42 (1895) Lyrics: 1. Another six days' work is done, Another Sabbath is begun; Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest, Improve the day thy God hath blest. 2. Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to wearied minds, Provides an antepast of heaven, And gives this day the food of seven. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. In holy duties let the day In holy pleasures, pass away: How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend In hope of one that ne'er shall end. Amen.

This day at thy creating word

Author: Bishop William W. How Hymnal: HAGA1895 #43 (1895) Lyrics: 1. This day, at Thy creating word, First o'er the earth the light was poured: O Lord, this day upon us shine, And fill our souls with light Divine. 2. The day the Lord, for sinners slain, In might victorious rose again: O Jesus may be raiséd be From death of sin to life in Thee. 3. This day the Holy Spirit came With fiery tongues of cloven flame: O Spirit, fill our hearts this day With grace to hear, and grace to pray. 4. O day of light, and life, and grace; From earthly toils sweet resting-place! Thy hallowed hours, best gift of Love, Give we again to God above. 5. All praise to God the Father be, All praise, Eternal Son, to thee, Whom, with the Spirit, we adore, For ever and for evermore. Amen.

Welcome, sweet day of rest

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: HAGA1895 #44 (1895)

This is the day of light

Author: Rev. John Ellerton Hymnal: HAGA1895 #45 (1895) Lyrics: 1 This is the day of light: Let there be light today; O Day-spring, rise upon our night, And chase its gloom away. 2 This is the day of rest: Our failing strength renew; On weary brain and troubled breast Shed Thou Thy freshening dew. 3 This is the day of peace: Thy peace our spirits fill; Bid Thou the blasts of discord cease, The waves of strife be still. 4 This is the day of prayer: Let earth to heaven draw near: Lift up our hearts to seek Thee there; Come down to meet us here. 5 This is the first of days: Send forth Thy quickening breath, And wake dead souls to love and praise, O Vanquisher of death! Amen.

O day of rest and gladness

Author: Bishop Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: HAGA1895 #46 (1895) Lyrics: 1. O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune, Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy, To the great God Triune. 2. On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heaven, And thus on thee, most glorious A triple light was given. 3. Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected With streams of Paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land. 4. To-day on weary nations The heavenly manna falls: To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where gospel light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5. New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To thee, blest Three in One. Amen.

Hail, thou bright and sacred morn

Author: Julia Anne Elliott Hymnal: HAGA1895 #47 (1895) Lyrics: 1. Hail, thou bright and sacred morn, Risen with gladness in thy beams! Light, which not of earth is born, From thy dawn in glory streams; Airs of heaven are breathed around, And each place is holy ground. 2. Sad and weary were our way, Fainting oft beneath our load, But for thee, thou blessèd day, Resting-place of life's rough road: Here flow forth the streams of grace; Strengthened hence we run our race. 3. Great Creator, who this day From Thy perfect work didst rest, By the souls that own Thy sway Hallowed be its hours blest; Cares of earth aside be thrown, This day given to heaven alone. 4. Saviour, who this day didst break the dark prison of the tomb, Bid my slumbering soul awake: Shine through all its sin and gloom: Let me, from my bonds set free, Rise from sin, and live to Thee. 5. Blessèd Spirit, Comforter, Sent this day from Christ on high; Lord, on me Thy gifts confer, Cleanse, illumine, sanctify: All Thine influence shed abroad; Lead me to the truth of God. Amen.

Safely through another week

Author: Rev. John Newton Hymnal: HAGA1895 #48 (1895) 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. 2. While we pray for pardoning grace, Through the dear Redeemer's Name, Show thy reconcilèd 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.

Pleasant are Thy courts above

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: HAGA1895 #49 (1895) Lyrics: 1. Pleasant are thy courts above, In the land of light and love; Pleasant are thy courts below, In this land of sin and woe. O my spirit longs and faints For the converse of Thy saints, For the brightness of Thy face, For Thy fullness, God of grace! 2. Happy birds that sing and fly Round Thy altars, O Most High! Happier souls that find a rest In a heavenly Father's breast! Like the wandering dove, that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair And enjoy it ever there. 3. Happy souls! their praises flow Even in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies: On they go from strength to strength Till they reach Thy throne at length, At thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. 4. Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin; Keep me by Thy saving grace; Give me at Thy side a place. Sun and Shield alike Thou art; Guide and guard my erring heart: Grace and glory flow from Thee; Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me! Amen.
