Lyrics
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 4
Thou art a holy ladder, where angels go and come;
Each Sunday finds us gladder, nearer to heaven, our home;
A day of sweet refection, thou art a day of love,
A day of resurrection from earth to things above.
Verse 5
Today 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.
Verse 6
New graces ever gaining from this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining to spirits of the blessed.
To Holy Ghost be praises, to Father, and to Son;
The church her voice upraises to Thee, blessed Three in One....
