O that thy statutes every hour

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #211 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O that thy statutes every hour Might dwell upon my mind! Thence I derive a quickening power, And daily peace I find. 2 To mediate thy precepts, Lord, Shall be my sweet employ; My soul shall ne'er forget thy word; It is my constant joy. 3 My lips with courage shall declare Thy statutes and thy name; I'll speak thy word, though kings should hear, Nor yield to sinful shame.

Lord of the Sabbath and its light

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #212 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath and its light, I hail thy hallowed day of rest; It is my weary soul's delight, The solace of my care-worn breast, The solace of my care-worn breast. 2 O sacred day of peace and joy, Thy hours are ever dear to me; Ne'er may a sinful thought destroy The holy calm I find in thee. 3 How sweetly now they glide along! How hallowed is the calm they yield! Transporting is their rapturous song, And heavenly visions seem revealed. 4 O Jesus, let me ever hail Thy presence with the day of rest; Then will thy servant never fail To deem thy Sabbath doubly blest.

Delightful day, best gift of heaven

Author: R. F. Cottrell Hymnal: SDAH1886 #213 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Delightful day, best gift of heaven, By man in Eden first possessed; Jehovah's rest-day, kindly given That all his creatures might be blessed. 2 Memorial of creation's King, We welcome now thy glad return; And while his praise we join to sing, Our hearts with love and rapture burn. 3 We bless thy name, almighty Lord, We love the keepsake thou hast given; Our voices raise with one accord In honor of the King of heaven. 4 All praise to Jesus, by whose blood We are redeemed from sin and death; Give glory to the Son of God, Praise him all creatures that have breath. 5 By sin we are exposed to wrath; He died for us, that he might draw Our wandering feet to virtue's path, Where we may keep God's holy law. 6 That law shall still be our delight, The holy Sabbath is a part, And when we gain that world so bright, All flesh shall keep it with one heart.

Awake, my heart! my soul, arise!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #214 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart! my soul, arise! This is the day believers prize; Improve this Sabbath, then, with care; Another may not be thy share. 2 O, solemn thought! Lord, give me power, Wisely to fill up every hour; O for the wings of faith and love To bear my longing heart above! 3 Jesus, assist, nor let me fail To worship thee within the vail, To glorify thy matchless grace, To see the beauties of thy face. 4 Be with me in thy house to-day, And tune my heart to praise and pray; Command thy word to fall like dew, Refreshing, quickening all anew. 5 Call forth my thoughts, and let them rove O'er the green pastures of thy love; O let not sin prevent my rest, Nor keep me from my Saviour's breast.

Another six days' work is done

Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: SDAH1886 #215 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Another six days' work is done, Another Sabbath is begun; Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest, Improve the day that God has blessed. 2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to weary minds: A blessed antepast is given, On this day more than all the seven. 3 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise As grateful incense to the skies, And draw from Christ that sweet repose Which none but he who feels it knows. 4 This heavenly calm within the breast Is the best pledge of glorious rest, Which for the church of God remains, The end of cares, the end of pains.

Blest hour, when mortal man retires

Author: Thomas Raffles Hymnal: SDAH1886 #216 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Blest hour, when mortal man retires To hold communion with his God, To send to heaven his warm desires, And listen to the sacred word. 2 Blest hour, when earthly cares resign Their empire o'er his anxious breast; While all around, the calm divine Proclaims the holy day of rest. 3 Blest hour, when God himself draws nigh, Well please his people's voice to hear, To hush the penitential sigh, And wipe away the mourner's tear. 4 Blest hour! for, where the Lord resorts, Foretastes of future bliss are given; And mortals find his earthly courts The house of God, the gate of heaven.

We've entered now on holy time

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #217 (1886) Lyrics: 1 We've entered now on holy time, God's blessed rest-day all divine; The labors of the week are past, Now let earth's cares aside be cast. 2 O let us help repair the breach, And all of God's commandments teach, Calling his rest-day our delight, Thus walking blameless in his sight. 3 This holy rest to us is given, To call our minds from earth to heaven; That we may not forget the Lord, And trample down his holy word. 4 The faith of Jesus, too, we need; For thus the flying angel said; Commands of God and Jesus' faith Will shield us in the day of wrath.

Thus far we're spared again to meet

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #218 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Thus far we're spared again to meet Before Jehovah's mercy-seat; To seek his face, to sing and pray, And hail another Sabbath-day. 2 Now met to praise his holy name, Whose mercies flow each day the same, Whose kind compassions never cease, We seek instruction, pardon, peace. 3 Let every tongue its silence break, Let every one his goodness speak, Who deigns his glory to display On each returning Sabbath-day.

Sweet is the work, my God, my King

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SDAH1886 #219 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise thy name, give thanks and sing; To show thy love by morning light, And talk of all thy truth by night. 2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest; No mortal cares shall seize my breast; O, may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound! 3 My heart shall triumph in the Lord And bless his works and bless his word; Thy works of grace how bright they shine! How deep thy counsels, how divine! 4 When grace has purified my heart, Then I shall share a glorious part; And fresh supplies of joy be shed, Like holy oil to cheer my head. 5 Then shall I see and hear and know All I desired or wished below, And every hour find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy.

This is the day of sacred rest

Author: Dr. H. Clarke Hymnal: SDAH1886 #220 (1886) Lyrics: 1 This is the day of sacred rest, Which God hath sanctified and blessed, When throned in majesty he stood, And viewed his works, and called them good. 2 The heavenly host their harps employ, The sons of God gave shouts of joy; Through heaven and earth his praises rang, The morning stars together sang. 3 Come, then, ye weary souls oppressed Come and enjoy this holy rest; Let humble songs like incense rise, And prayer and praise ascend the skies.
