Another six days' work is done

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 451 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Another six day's work is done, Another Sabbath is begun; Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest, Improve the day Thy God has blessed. 2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to wearied minds; Provides an antepast of heaven, And gives this day the food of sev'n. 3 Oh that our thoughts and thanks may rise As grateful incense to the skies; And draw from heaven that sweet repose Which none, but he who feels it, knows. 4 With joy, great God! Thy works we view In various scenes, both old and new; With praise we think of mercies past, With hope we future pleasures taste. 5 In holy duties let the day In holy pleasures pass away: How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

Is this vile world a friend to grace, To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign; Increase my courage, Lord! I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by Thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, And seize it with their eye. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all Thine armies shine In robes of vict'ry through the skies, The glory shall be Thine.

Rock of Ages! cleft for me

Author: Toplady Appears in 2,982 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages! cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee! Let the Water and the Blood, From Thy riven side that flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Save me, Lord, and make me pure. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfill Thy Law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone: Thou must save, and Thou alone! 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the Fountain fly; Wash me, Saviour, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I soar through tracts unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne,-- Rock of Ages! cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee!
