Author: Anon. Appears in 9 hymnals 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. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Used With Tune: ELIZABETHTOWN
