388. Safely Thro' Another Week

1 Safely thro' another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts today,
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest,
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.

2 While we seek supplies of grace
Thro' the dear Redeemer's name,
Show thy reconciling face,
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free
May we rest this day in thee,
From our worldly cares set free
May we rest this day in thee.

3 Here we come thy name to praise,
May we feel thy presence near,
May thy glory meet our eyes
While we in thy courts appear;
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast,
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.

4 May the gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief to all complaints;
Thus may all our Sabbaths be
Till we rise to reign with thee,
Thus may all our Sabbaths be
Till we rise to reign with thee.
