O Day of Rest and Gladness!

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 821 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness! O day of joy and light! O balm for care and sadness, Most beautiful and bright! On thee the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune, Sing, holy, holy, holy, To God, the great Triune. 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 heav'n; And thus on thee, most glorious, A three-fold light was giv'n. 3 To-day 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. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest; To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father and to Son, The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One.

I Think, When I Read That Sweet Story of Old

Author: Jemima Thompson Luke Meter: 12.10.12.10 D Appears in 865 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I think, when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He called little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. I wish that His hand had been placed on my head, That His arm had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 2 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I now earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above. In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; Full many dear children are gathering there, "For of such is the kingdom of heaven." 3 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall Never heard of that heavenly home: I should like them to know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come. And O how I long for that glorious time, The sweetest and brightest and best, When the dear little children of every clime Shall crowd to His arms and be blest! Amen.
