How sweet upon this sacred day

Author: Mrs. Follen Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #230 (1886) Lyrics: 1 How sweet upon this sacred day, The best of all the seven, To cast our earthly thoughts away, And think of God and heaven! 2 How sweet to be allowed to pray, Our sins may be forgiven! With filial confidence to say, "Father, who art in heaven!" 3 How sweet the words of peace to hear From him to whom 'tis given To wake the penitential tear, And lead the way to heaven! 4 And if to make our sins depart, In vain the will has striven, He who regards the inmost heart Will send his grace from heaven.

When the worn spirit wants repose

Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #231 (1886) Lyrics: 1 When the worn spirit wants repose, And sighs her God to seek, How sweet to hail the hours that close The labors of the week! 2 How sweet to hail the Sabbath-day, The day of holy rest; From earth's wild cares to soar away To regions pure and blest. 3 Sweet day! thine hours too soon will cease; Yet, while they gently roll, Breathe, heavenly Spirit, source of peace, A sabbath o'er my soul. 4 Soon will my pilgrimage be done, The world's long week be o'er, That Sabbath dawn which needs no sun, That day which fades no more.

How bright a day was that which saw

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #232 (1886) Lyrics: 1 How bright a day was that which saw Creation's work complete! All nature owned her Maker's law, And worshiped at his feet. 2 The world, arranged by power divine, In perfect order stood; And, resting, from his great design, God saw that all was good. 3 Not such a Sabbath now appears, For sin has ruined all; No longer man with pleasure hears A gracious Father's call. 4 Yet, Lord, bring back the reign of peace, Let brighter days begin; And teach vain creatures how to cease From folly and from sin. 5 Let sinners be again made thine, Though once with vengance cursed; And let the holy Sabbath shine, As glorious as at first.
