Verse 1
SAFELY through another week God hath brought us on our way; Let us now a blessing seek On the approaching Sabbath-day, Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest.
Verse 2
Mercies multiplied each hour Through the week our praise demand; Guarded by almighty power, Fed and guided by His hand; Though ungrateful we have been, Often made returns of sin.
Verse 3
While we pray for pardoning grace, In the great Redeemer's name, Show thy reconciled face, Shine away our sin and shame: From our worldly cares set free, May we rest this night with thee.
Verse 4
When the morn shall bid us rise, May we feel thy presence near: May thy glory meet our eyes, When we in thy house appear: There afford us, Lord, a taste Of our everlasting feast.
Verse 5
May thy gospel's joyful sound Conquer sinners, comfort saints; Make the fruits of grace abound, Bring relief for all complaints: - Such may all our Sabbaths prove, Till we join the church above!
