Sweet is the Sabbath of the Lord

Author: F. S. Thorp Hymnal: SDAH1886 #221 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the Sabbath of the Lord To those who in his law delight; Who love the precepts of his word, And tread the narrow path of right. 2 This holy day Jehovah blessed Ere sorrow, pain, or death were born, And sanctified for man his rest In glad creation's sinless morn. 3 It speaks of him whose wondrous might The heavens and earth from nothing made; Who formed the glorious orbs of light, And the deep sea's foundations laid. 4 Its sacred hours, ye saints of God, Remember with respect and love; And through obedience to his word Your love for your Creator prove. 5 And, when, immortalized we see The treasures of the new earth bright, God's holy Sabbath still shall be A source of blessing and delight.

The day of rest once more comes round

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: SDAH1886 #222 (1886) Lyrics: 1 The day of rest once more comes round, A day to all believers dear; The silver trumpets seem to sound, That call the tribes of Israel near. 2 Oh, hasten, Lord, the day when those Who know thee here shall see thy face; When suffering shall forever close, And they shall reach their destined place.

Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: SDAH1886 #223 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath, hear us pray In this thy house, on this thy day; Accept, as grateful sacrifice, The songs which from thy temple rise. 2 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love, But there's a nobler rest above; To that our laboring souls aspire With ardent hope and strong desire. 3 No more fatigue, no more distress, No sin nor death can reach that place; No tears shall mingle with the songs That warble from immortal tongues. 4 No rude alarm of raging foes, No cares to break the long repose, No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon. 5 O long-expected day, begin! Dawn on these realms of woe and sin; Fain would I leave this weary road, And go to meet my blessed Lord. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Tune Title: BURTON

Lord, on this Sabbath-day of rest

Author: T. R. Williamson Hymnal: SDAH1886 #224 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Lord, on this Sabbath-day of rest We lift to thee our earnest praise, Obedient to the high behest Which thou didst give to guide our ways. 2 We thank thee for the holy light That from thy law shines full and clear, Directing our weak steps aright Through earth's low path of doubt and fear. 3 For Jesus, too, whom thou didst send To teach the way of grace and truth, We bow before thy throne, and blend The thanks of age, the love of youth. 4 O, write thy word on every heart! In us let thy pure Spirit live, That his rich presence may impart Such peace as thou alone canst give. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Tune Title: BURTON

This day the Lord has called his own

Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: SDAH1886 #225 (1886) Lyrics: 1 This day the Lord has called his own; O, let us, then, his praise declare! Fix our desires on him alone, And seek his face with fervent prayer. 2 Lord, in thy love we would rejoice, Which bids the burdened soul be free; And with united heart and voice, Devote these sacred hours to thee. 3 Now let the world's delusive things No more our groveling thoughts employ, But faith be taught to stretch her wings In search of heaven's unfading joy. 4 O, let these earthly Sabbaths, Lord, Be to our lasting welfare blessed! The purest comfort here afford, And fit us for eternal rest. Topics: Worship The Sabbath Tune Title: BURTON

I love thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord

With joy we hail the sacred day

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: SDAH1886 #227 (1886) Lyrics: 1 With joy we hail the sacred day Which God has called his own; With joy the summons we obey, To worship at his throne, To worship at his throne. 2 Thy chosen temple, Lord, how fair! Where willing votaries throng To breathe the humble, fervent prayer, And pour the choral song. 3 Spirit of grace, O deign to dwell Within thy church below; Make her in holiness excel, With pure devotion glow. 4 Let peace within her walls be found; Let all her sons unite To spread with grateful zeal around, Her clear and shining light. 5 Then hail! thou sacred, blessed day, The best of all the seven, When hearts unite their vows to pay Of gratitude to heaven.

Dear Lord, we would thy praises sing

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #228 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord, we would thy praises sing On this thy holy day; With grateful hearts our tribute bring; To thee our homage pay. 2 This day, which thou for us hast blessed, And set apart as thine, This day, when God himself did rest, Hath honors all divine. 3 Lord, we would turn away our feet From this thy holy day, And call its rest and worship sweet, Not doing our own way. 4 That we may thus restore the breach Which in thy law is made, We need thy grace our hearts to teach, We need thy Spirit's aid. 5 O, give us wisdom from above To worship thee aright, Till we shall meet Him whom we love, And faith is lost in sight.

Come, dearest Lord, and feed thy sheep

Author: William Mason Hymnal: SDAH1886 #229 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Come, dearest Lord, and feed thy sheep, On this sweet day of rest; O bless this flock, and make this fold Enjoy a heavenly rest. 2 Welcome and precious to my soul Are these sweet days of love, But what a Sabbath shall I keep When I shall rest above! 3 I come, I wait, I hear, I pray; Thy footsteps, Lord, I trace; Here, in thine own appointed way, I wait to see thy face. 4 These are the sweet and precious days On which my Lord I've seen; And oft, when feasting on his word, In raptures I have been. 5 O, if my soul, when Christ appears, In this sweet frame be found, I'll clasp my Saviour in my arms, And leave this earthly ground!

How sweet upon this sacred day

Author: Mrs. Follen Hymnal: SDAH1886 #230 (1886) Lyrics: 1 How sweet upon this sacred day, The best of all the seven, To cast our earthly thoughts away, And think of God and heaven! 2 How sweet to be allowed to pray, Our sins may be forgiven! With filial confidence to say, "Father, who art in heaven!" 3 How sweet the words of peace to hear From him to whom 'tis given To wake the penitential tear, And lead the way to heaven! 4 And if to make our sins depart, In vain the will has striven, He who regards the inmost heart Will send his grace from heaven.
