Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sunday! sacred day of rest, Ever welcom'd, ever blest, Weekly toils and labors done, Now we greet with joy the sun. Hark! the music of the bell Echoes loud thro' copse and dell, Giving note of 'meeting time,' Sweet and cheerful is its chime. 2 Now we to the church repair, And we kneel in worship there, Looking for the promised love Of our heav'nly Friend above. There the 'merciful' are found, There the 'pure in heart' abound, There the humble and the meek Mourn the follies of the week. 3 'Tis the place where age and youth May resort in search of truth, Truth, for man's salvation giv'n; 'Tis the pathway, then, to heav'n. 'Two or three,' if gather'd there, Seeking God in praise or pray'r, With devoted, pious mind, Will his blessing ever find. Used With Tune: [Sunday! sacred day of rest]

Sunday! Sacred Day of Rest

Hymnal: The Silver Chime #14 (1862) Lyrics: 1 Sunday! sacred day of rest, Ever welcom'd, ever blest, Weekly toils and labors done, Now we greet with joy the sun. Hark! the music of the bell Echoes loud thro' copse and dell, Giving note of 'meeting time,' Sweet and cheerful is its chime. 2 Now we to the church repair, And we kneel in worship there, Looking for the promised love Of our heav'nly Friend above. There the 'merciful' are found, There the 'pure in heart' abound, There the humble and the meek Mourn the follies of the week. 3 'Tis the place where age and youth May resort in search of truth, Truth, for man's salvation giv'n; 'Tis the pathway, then, to heav'n. 'Two or three,' if gather'd there, Seeking God in praise or pray'r, With devoted, pious mind, Will his blessing ever find. Tune Title: [Sunday! sacred day of rest]
